Mungo Jerry - You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War Lyrics
When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house, and you meet her folksand they say that your hair's too long, and you're not their kind of blokethey grab you by the collar and they throw you through the doorYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warWell, you're working very hard to get promotion in your jobbut arrive late on morning just because you missed the busthe foreman says "You're fired, because your punctuality's poor"You don't have to be in the army to fight in the warThen you go into a hotel to get put up for the nightand they say that you can't stay there, just because your shirt ain't whiteyou're tired and you hungry, and you cannot walk no moreYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warAin't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your headso you lay down in the park, and you wish that you were deadthe fuzz says you are trespassing, and kicks you in the jawYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warThe fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jawYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warYou don't have to be in the army to fight in the warYou don't have to be ...........(etc. fade out)
