Army Dreamers

Lyrics

B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O.
 Mammy's hero
 Our little army boy
 Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
 I've a bunch of purple flowers
 To decorate mammy's hero
 Mourning in the aerodrome
 The weather warmer, he is colder
 Four men in uniform
 To carry home my little soldier
 (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
 But he didn't have the money for a guitar
 (What could he do? Should have been a politician)
 But he never had a proper education
 (What could he do? Should have been a father)
 But he never even made it to his twenties
 What a waste, army dreamers
 Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers
 Tears o'er a tin box
 Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
 Like a chicken with a fox
 He couldn't win the war with ego
 Give the kid the pick of pips
 And give him all your stripes and ribbons
 Now he's sitting in his hole
 He might as well have buttons and bows
 (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
 But he didn't have the money for a guitar
 (What could he do? Should have been a politician)
 But he never had a proper education
 (What could he do? Should have been a father)
 But he never even made it to his twenties
 What a waste, army dreamers
 Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers
 Ooh, what a waste of all them army dreamers
 Army dreamers
 Army dreamers, oh
 B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O. (no hard heroes)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 B.F.P.O. (army dreamers)
 Mammy's hero
 B.F.P.O.
 Mammy's hero
 Our little army boy
 Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
 I've a bunch of purple flowers
 To decorate mammy's hero
 Mourning in the aerodrome
 The weather warmer, he is colder

 To carry home my little soldier
 (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)

 But he never even made it to his twenties
 What a waste, army dreamers
 Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers
