Gonna Fight The War Lyrics by The Merry-Go-Round

The Merry-Go-Round

Rhodes
I finally cut myself shaving yesterday, I guess I'm getting older
Gonna quit the games I used to play 'cause they're making me a soldier
And I'm gonna fight the war, gonna win, maybe I might
Like I saw it on TV just the other night
Gonna have to say goodbye to ma and pa, gee I'm gonna miss them
Jackie is the one I'll miss the most of all 'cause she is my girlfriend
And I'm gonna fight the war, gonna join the armies ranks
As long as my enemy are using blanks
There's no need to worry about me, oh no
If there's a lack of entertainment there's always USO
A thousand wrappers of Double Bubble Gum will win a radio
A hundred twenty three and then I'm done, I hope I get it before I go
'Cause I'm gonna fight the war, gonna march in the infantry
And when the fighting starts I'll hide behind a tree
I read my first newspaper yesterday, all that it said was bad
I didn't want to hear what it had to say, I think the whole world's mad
There's no need to worry, nothing ever goes wrong
A sergeant he's told me that I'll be home before long
I finally cut myself shaving yesterday, I guess I'm getting older
Gonna quit the games I used to play 'cause they're making me a soldier
And I'm gonna fight the war, gonna win, maybe I might
Like I saw it on TV just the other night
