Roger Miller - Private John Q. lyrics

Well, I read in the papers and
I see it on the television
Everybody's worried about World War Three
Here I am, a single boy
Unemployed and everything
Somebody better stop and worry bout me
Well, can't you just see me now
Chin up and chest out
A hup two three four all day through?
Everybody seems to be worried
About a somethin' other
Who's gonna worry bout Private John Q?
Rumbumbaduba

Sometimes I get disheartened and try not
To even 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-skelter for their
Shelter underground
Well, can't you just see me now

When I was a little boy
I used to sit and dream of travelin'
To lotsa foreign countries
On 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
