A vacation to a foreign land <br />Uncle John does the best he can <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> Now I remember what the milkman said <br />Nothing to do all day but stay in bed <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />I'll be the weirdo of the neighbourhood <br />Nobody'll know that I'll be leaving soon <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />Smiling faces as I wait the bus <br />But once I get there no one'll give a toss <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />Hand grenades flying over my head <br />Missiles flying over my head <br />If I wish to survive I'll have to get out of bed <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />Shots ring out in the dead of night <br />The sergeant calls stand up and fight <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />I've got orders to better shoot on sight <br />My finger's on the trigger <br />But it doesn't seem right <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br />Night is falling and you just can't see <br />Is this illusion or reality <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br />I am joining the army soon <br />Oh, oh, I'll be in the army soon <br /> <br /> <br />(Original lyrics from Status Quo of the song In the army now)<br /><br />Roger Bewman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-in-the-army-soon/
