Private John Q.

(Roger Miller?)



Well, I read it in the paper and I seen it on the television

Ever'body's worryin' 'bout a World War III.

I am just a single boy, unemployed and ever'thin'

Somebody'd better stop and worry 'bout me.



Cho: Can't you just see me now?

"Chin up! Chest out!

Hut two three four" all day through.

Ever'body seems to be worryin' 'bout somethin' 'nother

Who's gonna worry 'bout a private John Q?



Sometimes I get downhearted and I try hard not to think about it's

All that I can do to keep from lettin' it get me down.

But I'll stand proud while ever'body else will be a-

Runnin' helter-skelter for a shelter underground.



When I'se a little boy I used to sit an dream of trav'lin'

Visit lots of foreign countries on a sight-seein' tour;

The way it looks now, I can stop savin' money

Maybe go free, sponsored by a third World War.
