Karaoke Track: Camouflage by Stan Ridgway (Sunfly)

47 seconds

I was 3 PFC on

a search patrol
hunting Charlie down

It was in the

jungle wars
of sixty-five

My weapon jammed

and I got stuck way
out and all alone

And I could hear

the enemy moving in
close outside

Just then I heard

a twig snap and I
grabbed my empty gun

And then a big marine,
a giant with a pair
of friendly eyes appeared
there at my shoulder
and saidi Wait

When he came in close
beside me. he said

Don&#39;t worry son,
I&#39;m here

I saidz Well, thanks a lot

I told him my name
and asked him his

And he said

The boys just
call me Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Things are never

quite the way
they seem

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Well I was gonna
ask him where

he came from.
when we heard
the bullets fly

Well we fought all night,
side by side,

we took our
battle stands

And I wondered

how the bullets
missed this man

&#39;Cos they seemed to

go right through him.
iust as if he wasn&#39;t there

And it was near the
riverbank when the
ambush came on top
of us and I thought
it was the end

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

This was an awfully

strange marine

When he led me
out the danger,

I saw my camp and
waved goodbye

And when I got back

to my H11. I told
them about my night

When I said his name,

a soldier gulped and
a medic took my arm

He saidi You may be

telling true boy but this
here is Camouflage

In fact he&#39;s been

here all week long

But before he went

he saidz Semper Fi
and said his only wish

So here, take
his dogtag. son

I know he&#39;d want
you to have it now

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Things are never

quite the way
they seem

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

So next time you&#39;re

in a jungle fight and you
feel a presence near

0r hear a voice that

in your mind will lie

Just be thankful that
you&#39;re not alone and

you&#39;ve got
some company

From a big marine,

the boys
call Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Woh oh oh oh

Camouflage

Woh oh Camouflage
