I Used To Sit.....USMC

[Alenoor]

I used to sit at home all day,​

Letting my life a waste away.​

Then one day a man in blue,​

Said son I got a job for you,​

Theres travel and adventure and loads of fun,​

And well even teach you how to shoot a gun.​

Theres room and board and a plate of food,​

And a brand new tailored business suit.​

I used to drive a Bonneville,​

Now all I do is run up a hill.​

I used to drive a Chevrolet,​

Now all I do is sleep in the hay.​

I used to drive a Cadillac,​

Now all I do is hump a pack.​

Lo Right a Leaft​

Left Right Right your Lefty Right your Left.​

Left Right your Left​

Lefty Right your Left​

Left Right your Leaft.​

Lefty Righty Lo​

or​

I used to sit at home all day,​

A letting my life just waste away.​

Then one day a man in blue,​

said "Kid I got the job for you!".​

Free room and board with paid up boots,​

and a brand new teller business suit.​

There's trouble and adventure and loads of fun.​

You'll even learn to shoot a gun.​

Pre medical and dental benefits,​

and light weight aluminum camping kits.​

Athletic events to keep your body tight,​

Eight hours of sleep each night.​

"Believe me kid" he said with a grin,​

sign these papers and I'll get you right in.​

As I got on the bus he winked with his eye,​

I never knew a man could be so sly.​

I'm not complaining don't get me wrong,​

I've enjoyed myself growing big and strong.​

But two things the recruiter didn't promise me,​

One rose garden and a cup of tea. ​
