0:20Our little army boy
0:22Is coming home from B.F.P.O
0:25I've a bunch of purple flowers
0:27To decorate a mammy's hero
0:30Mourning in the aerodrome
0:32The weather warmer he is colder
0:35Four men in uniform
0:37To carry home my little soldier
0:39What could he do should have been a rock star
0:42But he didn't have the money for a guitar
0:44What could he do should have been a politician
0:47But he never had a proper education
0:49What could he do should have been a father
0:51But he never even made it to his twenties
0:55What a waste army dreamers
0:59What a waste army dreamers
1:04Tears over a tin box
1:06Jesus Christ he wasn't to know
1:09Like a chicken with a fox
1:11He couldn't win the war with ego
1:14Give the boy the pick of pips
1:16And give him all your stripes and ribbons
1:19While he's sitting in his hole
1:20He might as well have buttons and bows
1:23What could he do should have been a rock star
1:26But he didn't have the money for a guitar
1:28What could he do should have been a politician
1:30But he never had a proper education
1:33What could he do should have been a father
1:35But he never even made it to his twenties
1:38What a waste army dreamers
1:43What a waste army dreamers
1:48What a waste of all the army dreamers
1:51Army dreamers army dreamers
Our little army boy Is coming home from B.F.P.O I've a bunch of purple flowers To decorate a mammy's hero Mourning in the aerodrome The weather warmer he is colder Four men in uniform To carry home my little soldier What could he do should have been a rock star But he didn't have the money for a guitar What could he do should have been a politician But he never had a proper education What could he do should have been a father But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste army dreamers What a waste army dreamers Tears over a tin box Jesus Christ he wasn't to know Like a chicken with a fox He couldn't win the war with ego Give the boy the pick of pips And give him all your stripes and ribbons While he's sitting in his hole He might as well have buttons and bows What could he do should have been a rock star But he didn't have the money for a guitar What could he do should have been a politician But he never had a proper education What could he do should have been a father But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste army dreamers What a waste army dreamers What a waste of all the army dreamers Army dreamers army dreamers
