Private John Q — текст песни (Roger Miller)

Well I read in the papers and I see it on the televison
Everybody`s scared about the World War Three
Here I am a single boy unemployment and everything
Somebody better stop and worry bout me
Well can`t you just see me now chin up chest out
A-hup two three fout all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about a somethin` other
Who`s gonna worry bout Private John Q rumbumbaduba

Sometimes I get dishearted and try hard not to think about it
Heaven knows it`s hard to keep from lettin` it get me down
But I`ll stand proud when everybody else will be
Runnin` helter-shelter for a shelter underground
Well can`t you just see me now...

When I`s a little boy I used to sit and dream of travelin`
To lotsa foreign countries on a sight seein` tours
The way it`s lookin` now I can stop savin` money maybe
Go free sponsored by a Third World War
Well can`t you just see me now...
Well can`t you just see me now...
