Hi, kid
Hello, sir
What d'you wanna do, boy?
Well, I don't really know
D'you wanna go back to school, kid?
Err, not really

Well, d'you wanna go to work, boy?
Uh-huh
D'you wanna dig potatoes, son?
No, Siree

What d'you wanna do, boy?
D'you wanna go to war, boy?
Ooh, yes please sir, yes please sir, yes please sir

La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

They're sending me home (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Shot through to the bone (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
He had a red cross on his arm (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
All I got was napalm (la-la-la-la)

The American Army (la-la-la-la-la-la)
The American Army (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-uh)
Mm, wait 'til the Russians get hold of you
Not forgetting the Navy (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Not forgetting the Navy (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
And the Air Force too

La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la

Shot down from my plane (la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
They leave me out cold (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Never be the same again (la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
I was just 16 years old (la-la-la-la)

The American Army (la-la-la-la-la-la)
The American Army (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-uh)
Wait 'til the Russians get hold of you (la, la-la-la-la)
Not forgetting the Navy (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Not forgetting the Navy (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
And the Air Force too

It'll be so nice to get back home to North Carolina (la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
See my blonde, all-American honeybun (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
With her transistor radio turned up full (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Do all the things we used to do, back in the old days (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la) what a thrill it could be (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Hope you enjoy the air raid
