[Verse 1]
Listen, the sweet peals of moonlight-induced lovemaking on the streets tonight
Listen, the soft purr of motorbikes are ready to strike up the night alight
So, don't tell me of your troubles, your emotional grief
Take in the sights, this is shore leave
Don't talk of true love, unscrew your frown
Enjoy the entertainments of nighttime town
Experience the red rooms, the green tables, the souvenirs
Make memories; haunting or fabled
The gallant mist of red blooded chivalry instilled in basic training
[Bridge 1]
By standing in line today, you secure a place among the saints
Go get them, son, now your life begins
To die for your country does not win a war
To kill for your country is what wins a war
[Verse 2]
Don't tell your name, don't ask for hers
In this land of oysters, you are the world
The painless plainness of military life resumes tomorrow night
[Verse 3]
If not for you it would've been cholera, malaria, or some Eastern disease
Forget about it, son, a slap is all you need
