Verse 1
Our little army boy is coming home from B. F. P. O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers...
...to decorate a mammys hero,
Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder,
Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier
Chorus 1
(What could he do? Should've been a rock star!)
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What could he do?...
...Should've been a poli - tician!)
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What could he do?...
...Should've been a fath - er!)
But he never even made it to his twenties,
What a waste, army dreamers,
F C F Am F N.C.
Oo, what a waste of army dreamers
Verse 2
Tears o'er a tin box,
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego,
Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows
Chorus 2
(What could he do? Should've been a rock star!)
But he didn't have the money for a gui - tar,
(What could he do?...
...Should've been a poli - tician!)
But he never had a proper edu - ca - tion,
(What could he do?...
...Should've been a fath - er!)
But he never even made it to his twenties,
What a waste, army dreamers,
Oo, what a waste of army dreamers,
Oo, what a waste of all them army dreams,
F Am F Am F Asus2 N.C.
Army dreams, army dream - ers! Oo-----!
