Soldier soldier don't look down
I'm here for you in every town

Mama told Mary not to go downtown
Too many lovely boys hanging around
Mary didn't listen - she went anyway
There she met a boy who took her away

Soldier soldier don't look down
I'm here for you in every town

Refrain:
Soldier soldier don't look down -
There's no sixpack on the ground
Soldier soldier don't look up -
There's no whore, gone to pick you up?

Mama is worried and she gets real loud
Cos soldiers are a dirty crowd
Don't be mad I love him so
It's my life and I have to go

Refrain: ...

Three months later all was well
In my dreams I hear the wedding bells (dingdongding)
Six months later all was done
We had a little song - we are having fun
Mama don't think twice - soldiers can be nice
