Private John Q

Well I read it in the papers and I see it on the television
Everybody??s worried about world war three
Here I am a single boy, unemployed and everything
Somebody better stop and worry about me

Well can??t you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who??s gonna worry about Private John Q

Sometimes I get disheartened I try not to even think about it
Heaven knows it??s hard to keep from lettin?? it get me down
But I??ll stand proud when everybody else??ll be
A-runnin?? helter skelter for the shelter underground

Well can??t you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who??s gonna worry about Private John Q

When I was a little boy I used to sit and dream of travellin??
To lots of foreign countries on sight-seeing tours
The way it??s looking now I can stop saving money
Maybe go free, sponsored by the third world war

Well can??t you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who??s gonna worry about Private John Q

Well can??t you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who??s gonna worry about Private John Q
Hup-2-3-4-5-6-
