USS New Jersey
She had lightning speed and thunder roar
She had guns and powder and marines galore
I was much too young but I saw her once
Early winter of 84
Big J they called her that Goddess of war
Her missiles shrilled as they proudly soared
I was much too young but I saw her once
Breathing fire right off the shore
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
Her missiles missed what they were looking for
So many were killed but hey who's keeping score
I was much too young but I saw her bombs
When you hear them coming you hit the floor
On Christmas Eve there was a party onboard
They had music and dancers and Bobby Hope
I was much too young but I saw her bombs
Burn my nation right to its core
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
Hush little baby don't mind that noise
Let's read your stories and play with your toys
You're too young my precious one
Let's pray my baby we see the morn
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty
She had guns and powder and marines galore
I was much too young but I saw her once
Early winter of 84
Big J they called her that Goddess of war
Her missiles shrilled as they proudly soared
I was much too young but I saw her once
Breathing fire right off the shore
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
Her missiles missed what they were looking for
So many were killed but hey who's keeping score
I was much too young but I saw her bombs
When you hear them coming you hit the floor
On Christmas Eve there was a party onboard
They had music and dancers and Bobby Hope
I was much too young but I saw her bombs
Burn my nation right to its core
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
Hush little baby don't mind that noise
Let's read your stories and play with your toys
You're too young my precious one
Let's pray my baby we see the morn
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
I was only a boy
And she was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty machine of war
She was a mighty
