Hail To The Conquering Hero Lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World: 1959-1962 - James Darren

Hail to the conquerin' hero 

There he goes with the girl he stole from me 

Hail to the conquerin' hero 

Look at him: he's as proud as he can be 

He may think he's won the prize 

But he doesn't realize 

I'm not givin' her up so easily 

Hail to the conquerin' hero 

I suppose he'll be kissin' her tonight 

Three cheers for the conquerin' hero 

Marchin' off with my baby just for spite 

While he is makin' with romance 

I'll be planning an advance 

I'm not givin' her up without a fight 

For now I may retreat, but I won't admit defeat 

I'll show that guy I'm just as smart 

Yeah, all's fair in love and war, so I'll even up the score 

I'll decorate him with a broken heart 

Down with the conquerin' hero 

Pretty soon I'll be ready to attack 

I'll conquer the conquerin' hero 

When I do, then I'll get my baby back 

So he thinks the battle's done 

But the battle's just begun 

I'll be winnin' her back, just wait and see 

And then that conquerin' hero is gonna be me
