Oh I'm just a typical American boy |
| [00:05.34] |
from a typical American town |
| [00:07.67] |
I believe in God and Senator Dodd |
| [00:10.25] |
and a keeping old Castro down |
| [00:12.79] |
And when it came my time to serve |
| [00:15.17] |
I knew better dead than red |
| [00:17.55] |
But when I got to my old draft |
| [00:19.87] |
board buddy |
| [00:20.63] |

| [00:22.43] |
Sarge I'm only eighteen |
| [00:24.03] |
I got a ruptured spleen |
| [00:25.26] |
And I always carry a purse |
| [00:27.58] |
I got eyes like a bat |
| [00:29.04] |
and my feet are flat |
| [00:30.31] |

| [00:32.68] |

| [00:48.71] |
And when the bombshell hits, |
| [00:49.83] |

| [00:50.90] |
And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs |
| [00:53.56] |

| [00:54.86] |
I can't touch my toes |
| [00:56.17] |

| [00:58.47] |

| [01:00.96] |

| [01:03.75] |

| [01:39.12] |
And if you ever get a war |
