Course not Matt, it`s all public domain anyway.
I just love Camouflage, and despite being the chaddest song Elmer has produced since the Green Beret, I can usually keep a straight face at karaoke seshes
Imagine the setting, Mastermind.
Name?
Camouflage
Special Interest?
Huntin Charley Down.
Who the fark is Charley Down btw? It`s never fully explained in Ridgeway`s chanson
And I
quote,
I was a p.f.c. on a search patrol, huntin charlie down
It was in the jungle wars of 65.
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone.
And I could hear the enemy movin in close outside.
Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun.
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate.And then a big marine, a giant, with a pair of friendly eyes Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait. (Wait yerself Lofts and don`t stand behind me like that
)
When he came in close beside me, he said dont worry, son, Im here
If charlie wants to tangle now, he`ll have two to dodge
I said, well, thanks a lot! I told him my name and asked him his
And he said the boys just call me camouflage (I said,"get your hand off my thigh you beefer or you`ll be wearing my K-Bar up yer hoop
, grr)
Chorus:Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big marine
Well, I was gonna ask him where he came from, when we heard the bullets fly
Comin through the brush, and all around our ears
It was then I saw this big marine light a fire in his eye
And it was strange, but suddenly, I forgot my fears
Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance(Pardon?)
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man cause they seemed to go right through him just as if he wasnt there
And in the mornin we both took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of us
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin through a bush (That one, there, see it? The one with the copper coloured top?)
And that big marine, he just swat it with his hand
Just like it was a fly..
.Chorus:Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
This was an awfully strange (big) marine{spoken}
And I knew there was somethin weird about him,cause when I turned around,
He was pullin a big palm tree up outta the groundAnd swattin those charlies with it from here to kingdom come
When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
When I got back to my h.q., I told em about my nightAnd the battle Id spent with a big marine named camouflage
When I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my armAnd led me to a green tent on the right (as opposed to the blue one or the pink one.....
)
He said you may be tellin true, boy, but this here is camouflage
And hes been right here since he passed away last nightIn fact, hes been here all week long.(That`s why he`s a bit ripe mate, have you got any Airwick
) ..But before he went, he said semper fi, and said his only wish Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage(top geezer
)
So here, take his dog tag, son, I know hed want you to have it now(Like this always happens, poke the grave digger`s registration unit
) And we both said a prayer for a big marine named camouflage
Chorus repeat
So next time youre in a jungle fight, and you feel a presence near
Or hear a voice that in your mind will lodge
Just be thankful that youre not alone, youve got some company
From a big marine the boys call camouflage
Chorus repeat x2Hup, hey-ho, hey, left... left...Woah, woah, camouflageHey, hey-ho, ho, left... left...Woah, woah, camouflageRepeat endlessly until fade...
Camouflage? Hmmmmm.
I know who that bastard is
It`s Si Capon
Next time you want to save a young Marine,Si, could you save one for me as well
We know someone else who likes awfully big Marines, don`t we Doc
