Private John Q lyrics

Well I read it in the papers

And I see it on the television

Everybody's worried about a world war 3

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

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

And try not to even think about it

Heaven knows it's hard to keep from letting it get me down

But I stand proud when everybody else will be running Helter Skelter for their shelter underground

Well can't you just see me now

Chin up and chest out

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 traveling

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 a third world war

Well can't you just see me now

Chin up and chest out

Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through

Everybody seems to be worried about something or other

Who's gonna worry about Private John Q

Can't you just see me now

Chin up and chest out

Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through

Everybody seems to be worried about something or other

Who's gonna worry about Private John Q
