| [00:47.58] | I was a p.f.c. on a search patrol, huntin’ charlie down |
| [00:52.89] | It was in the jungle wars of ’65 |
| [00:57.07] | My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone |
| [01:02.19] | And I could hear the enemy movin’ in close outside |
| [01:06.80] | Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun |
| [01:11.92] | And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate |
| [01:16.42] | And then a big marine a giant, with a pair of friendly eyes |
| [01:21.80] | Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait. |
| [01:26.35] | When he came in close beside me, he said don’t worry, son, I’m here |
| [01:31.10] | If charlie wants to tangle now, he’ll have two to dodge |
| [01:35.33] | I said, well, thanks a lot! I told him my name and asked him his |
| [01:40.63] | And he said the boys just call me camouflage |
| [01:45.24] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [01:50.05] | Things are never quite the way they seem |
| [01:54.35] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [01:59.72] | I was awfully glad to see this big marine |
| [02:04.46] | Well, I was gonna ask him where he came from, when we heard the bullets fly |
| [02:09.26] | Comin’ through the brush, and all around our ears |
| [02:13.76] | It was then I saw this big marine light a fire in his eye |
| [02:18.69] | And it was strange, but suddenly, I forgot my fears |
| [02:37.90] | Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance |
| [02:42.64] | And I wondered how the bullets missed this man |
| [02:47.02] | ’cause they seemed to go right through him just as if he wasn’t there |
| [02:52.29] | And in the mornin’ we both took a chance and ran |
| [02:57.05] | And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of us |
| [03:01.66] | And I thought it was the end, and we were had |
| [03:06.33] | Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin’ through a bush |
| [03:10.53] | And that big marine, he just swat it with his hand |
| [03:16.60] | Just like it was a fly... |
| [03:21.12] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [03:25.66] | Things are never quite the way they seem |
| [03:30.59] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [03:35.70] | This was an awfully strange marine |
| [03:49.51] | And I knew there was somethin’ weird about him, |
| [03:52.25] | ’cause when I turned around, |
| [03:54.05] | He was pullin’ a big palm tree up outta the ground |
| [03:56.81] | Swattin’ those charlies with it from here to kingdom come |
| [04:03.79] | When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye |
| [04:08.47] | He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone |
| [04:13.34] | When I got back to my h.q., I told ’em about my night |
| [04:17.96] | And the battle I’d spent with a big marine named camouflage |
| [04:22.95] | When I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm |
| [04:27.69] | And led me to a green tent on the right |
| [04:32.06] | He said you may be tellin’ true, boy, but this here is camouflage |
| [04:36.99] | And he’s been right here since he passed away last night |
| [04:42.48] | In fact, he’s been here all week long... |
| [04:46.91] | But before he went, he said semper fi, and said his only wish |
| [04:51.41] | Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage |
| [04:56.46] | So here, take his dog tag, son, I know he’d want you to have it now |
| [05:01.13] | And we both said a prayer for a big marine named camouflage |
| [05:06.19] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [05:10.68] | Things are never quite the way they seem |
| [05:15.81] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [05:20.23] | This was an awfully big marine |
| [05:26.01] | So next time you’re in a jungle fight, and you feel a presence near |
| [05:30.04] | Or hear a voice that in your mind will lodge |
| [05:35.79] | Just be thankful that you’re not alone and you’ve got some company |
| [05:41.47] | From a big marine the boys call camouflage |
| [05:54.24] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
| [05:58.78] | Things are never quite the way they seem |
| [06:03.72] | Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage |
