[00:21.13]Our little army boy
[00:23.24]is coming home from B.F.P.O.
[00:26.37]I've a bunch of purple flowers
[00:28.44]to decorate a mammy's hero
[00:31.48]Mourning in the aerodrome
[00:33.61]The weather warmer, he is colder
[00:36.64]Four men in uniform
[00:38.61]to carry home my little soldier
[00:41.39](What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
[00:44.70]But he didn't have the money for a guitar
[00:47.30](What could he do? Should have been a politician)
[00:49.54]But he never had a proper education
[00:52.03](What could he do? Should have been a father)
[00:54.58]But he never even made it to his twenties
[00:58.04]What a waste of
[00:59.41]army dreamers
[01:02.75]Ooh, what a waste of
[01:04.48]army dreamers, army dreamers
[01:21.52]Tears o'er a tin box
[01:23.60]Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
[01:26.74]Like a chicken with a fox
[01:28.86]He couldn't win the war with ego
[01:31.81]Give the kid the pick of pips
[01:33.93]and give him all your stripes and ribbons
[01:36.80]Now he's sitting in his hole
[01:39.05]He might as well have buttons and bows
[01:41.82](What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
[01:44.66]But he didn't have the money for a guitar
[01:47.19](What could he do? Should have been a politician)
[01:49.88]But he never had a proper education
[01:52.09](What could he do? Should have been a father)
[01:55.08]But he never ever made it to his twenties
[01:58.54]What a waste of
[01:59.83]army dreamers
[02:03.12]Ooh, what a waste of
[02:04.95]army dreamers, army dreamers
