I’m a steam roller baby,
and I’m rollin down the line (x2)
So ya better get outta my way now, before I roll all over you
I’m a dump truck baby,
and I’m dumpin down the line (x2)
So ya better get outta my way now, before I dump all over you
I’m a jackhammer baby,
and I’m jackin down the line (x2)
So ya better get outta my way now, before I jack all over you
I’m a steam roller baby, I’m a dump truck baby, I’m a jack hammer baby, and I’m rolling down the line, and I’m dumpin down the line, and I’m jackin down the line
So you’d better get outta my way now, why don’t you please get outta my way now, before I roll all over you, before I dump all over you, before I jack all over you!

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She’d say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She’d say she pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
She kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she kept it
She’d say she kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she laid them
She’d say she laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away

I hear the choppers coming,
They’re flying overhead.
They’ve come to get the wounded,
They’ve come to get the dead.(chorus)
My buddy’s in a foxhole,
A bullet in his head,
The medic says he is sleeping,
But I know that he’s dead(chorus)
I ran to tell the CO
About my buddy’s head
But when I got there,
The CO was dead(chorus)
And now the battle’s over,
and smoke is all around.
We wanted to go home,
But we’re six feet underground

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Momma, momma, can’t you see
what the Army’s done to me
Momma, momma, can’t you see
what the Army’s done to me
They took away my faded jeans
Now I’m wearing Army greens
They took away my faded jeans
Now I’m wearing Army greens
Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

They put me in a barber’s chair
I turned around, I had no hair
They put me in a barber’s chair
I turned around, I had no hair
Chorus:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go

I used to drive a Cadillac
Now I hump it on my back

I don't know why I left
But I must've done wrong
And it won't be long
'Till I get on back home
Got a letter in the mail
Go to war or go to jail
Sat me in that barber's chair
Spun me around, I had no hair
Used to drive a Cadillac
Now I pack it on my back
Used to drive a limousine
Now I'm wearing Army green
Dress it right and cover down
Forty inches all around
Nine to the front and six to the rear
That's the way we do it here
Used to date a beauty queen
Now I date my M-16
Took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearing Army greens
Mama Mama can't you see
What this Army's done to me
Mama Mama can't you see
This Army life is killing me

Here we go again
Same old stuff again
Marching down the avenue
Few more days and we’ll be though
I won’t have to look at you
So, I’ll be glad and so will you
