Greetings!... We’re The Monitors

0

[Verse 1]
Greetings, this is Uncle Sam
I want to take you to a far off land
[Chorus]
I need you (I need you)
Oh, I need you (I need you)
Yes, I need you (I need you)
To lend a helping hand (I need you)
[Verse 2]
Say goodbye to all my buddies
Say hello to your new friends
'Cause you're in the army now
And your new life has just begun
[Chorus]
I need you (I need you)
Oh, I need you (I need you)
Yes, I need you (I need you)
To lend a helping hand (I need you)
[Bridge]
I can just see me now, huh (Hut, two, three, four)
With a rifle in my hand (Hut, two, three, four)
I'm gonna have to say goodbye to my girl (Hut, two, three, four)
And I hope she doesn't find another man (Hut, two, three, four)
And, baby (Hut, two, three, four)
Baby, while I'm away (Hut, two, three, four)
Please, please write everyday (Hut, two, three, four)
Oh no, no
Please don't take me, Uncle Sam
(You're in the army now)
[Verse 3]
Bye, bye, baby, so long friends
Goodbye, baby, I hope to see you again
[Chorus]
I need you (I need you)
Oh, I need you (I need you) (Come on, boy)
Yes, I need you (I need you) (We're gonna make a man out of you)
To lend a helping hand (I need you) (This is one train you are not gonna miss)
Bye, bye, baby (Bye, bye, baby) (Come on, boy)
(What do you mean you've never heard of KP?)
Baby, bye, bye (Bye, bye, baby) (I don't care if it is four in the morning)
I got to go, baby (Bye, bye, baby) (There's a right way, a wrong way)
So baby, please, don't you cry (Bye, bye, baby) (And there's my way, you'll do it my way)
Bye, bye, baby (Bye, bye, baby) (Come on, boy, on the double, get in step, boy)
You know I hate to leave (Bye, bye, baby) (Come on now, march)
Say a prayer for me, baby (Bye, bye, baby)
I'm beggin', please, please, please (Bye, bye, baby) (March)
I need you (Bye, bye, baby) (Your mama's a long ways off, boy)
(So stop your crying)
Oh, I need you (Bye, bye, baby) (March)
Yes, I need you (Bye, bye, baby) (Get in step, boy, left, right, left, right)
To lend a helping hand (Bye, bye, baby)
(I said get in step, boy, left)
