Soldier Boy

Here comes the boy with the backpack on

He's goin' anywhere but home

Be some changes while he's gone

He's got a job to carry on

Here comes the boy in a dark green suit

Size 11 combat boots

He can run and he can shoot

He's got a gun that goes a root, toot, toot

Here comes the jet with a tail of white

He'll be there before daylight

Got some wrongs to be made right

May not return, but I think he might

Here comes a ship sailin' out to sea

Boys on deck for all to see

Wavin' bye to you and me

Keep the land and the water free

Soldier boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' boy

You won't be no boy no more after what you're goin' for

And all you women, thanks to you, doin' what you have to do

Prayin' for you 'til you're through

Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo

Here comes the boy with the backpack on

He's going anywhere but home

Be some changes while he's gone

He's got a job to carry on

Soldier boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' boy

You won't be no boy no more after what you're goin' for

And all you women, here's to you, doin' what you have to do

Peace because of all of you

Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo
