Gonna Fight The War

I finally cut myself shaving yesterday, guess I'm getting older

Gonna quit the games I used to play cause they're making me a soldier

And I'm gonna fight the war, gonna win maybe I might

Like I saw it on TV just the other night

Gonna have to say good-bye to ma and pa, gee I'm gonna miss them

Jackie is the one I'll miss the most of all cause she is my girlfriend

And I'm gonna fight the war, gonna join the armies ranks

As long as my enemy are using blanks

And there's no need to worry about me on no

If there's a lack of entertainment there's always USO

A thousand wrappers of Double Bubble Gum will win a radio

A hundred twenty three and then I'm done, I hope I get it before I go

Cause I'm gonna fight the war, gonna march in the infantry

And when the fighting starts I'll hide behind a tree

I read my first newspaper yesterday, all that it said was bad

I didn't want to hear what it had to say, I think the whole world's mad

There's no need to worry, nothing ever goes wrong

A sergeant he's told me that I'll be home before long

I finally cut myself shaving yesterday, guess I'm getting older
