Private John Q.

(album: Roger And Out - 1964)

Well I read in the papers and I see it on the televison
Everybody's scared about the World War Three
Here I am a single boy unemployment and everything
Somebody better stop and worry bout me
Well can't you just see me now chin up chest out
A-hup two three fout all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about a something other
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q rumbumbaduba

Sometimes I get dishearted and try hard not to think about it
Heaven knows it's hard to keep from letting it get me down
But I'll stand proud when everybody else will be
Running helter-shelter for a shelter underground
Well can't you just see me now...

When I's a little boy I used to sit and dream of traveling
To lotsa foreign countries on a sight seeing tours
The way it's looking now I can stop saving money maybe
Go free sponsored by a Third World War
Well can't you just see me now...
Well can't you just see me now...
