What d'you wanna do boy?
- Well, I don't really know
D'you wanna go back to school, kid?
- Er....not really!
Well, d'you wanna go to work, boy?
- Uh-uh!
D'you wanna dig potatoes, son?
- No Siree!
What d'you wanna do, boy?
D'you wanna go to war, boy?
-Ooh, yes please sir!
-Ooh, yes please sir!
-Ooh, yes please sir!
They're sending me home, shot through to the bone
He had a red cross on his arm, all I got was napalm
The American Army, the American Army,
Wait till the Russians get hold of you!
Not forgetting the Navy, not forgetting the Navy
And the Air force too!
Shot down from my plane, they leave me out cold
Never be the same again, I was just 16yrs old!
The American Army, the American Army,
Wait till the Russians get hold of you!
Not forgetting the Navy, not forgetting the Navy
And the Air force too!
It’ll be so nice to get back home to North Carolina
See my blonde, all-American honey bun
With her transistor radio turned up full!
Do all the things we used to do, back in the old days!
What a thrill it could be!
Hope you enjoy the air raid!!!

Da “Wasa Wasa”, album d’esordio di questa formazione inglese.
Al giovane amico Cesare, che oltre alla grande cultura musicale ha pure un cervello più analitico di uno scanner, è bastato un attimo per accorgersi che nel pur immenso database delle CCG/AWS mancano ancora alcune canzoni degne di nota, come per esempio questa della band di Rob 'Edgar' e Steve Broughton, importante rappresentante del rock psichedelico.
Cesare ha accompagnato la segnalazione con un breve commento che riporto: “Molto simile come tematica ad Eighteen di Alice Cooper ma più esplicita nel testo, dissacrante ed ironico, che ricorda Frank Zappa anche nella parodia dei gruppi vocali anni ‘50”.
Grazie Cesare!
