Here comes the boy with the backpack on
He's goin' anywhere but home
Be some changes while he's gone
He's got a job to carry on
Here comes the boy in a dark green suit
Size 11 combat boots
He can run and he can shoot
He's got a gun that goes a root, toot, toot
Here comes the jet with a tail of white
He'll be there before daylight
Got some wrongs to be made right
May not return, but I think he might
Here comes a ship sailin' out to sea
Boys on deck for all to see
Wavin' bye to you and me
Keep the land and the water free
Soldier boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' boy
You won't be no boy no more after what you're goin' for
And all you women, thanks to you, doin' what you have to do
Prayin' for you 'til you're through
Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo
Here comes the boy with the backpack on
He's going anywhere but home
Be some changes while he's gone
He's got a job to carry on
Soldier boy, walkin' boy, sailor boy, and flyin' boy
You won't be no boy no more after what you're goin' for
And all you women, here's to you, doin' what you have to do
Peace because of all of you
Doodle, doodle, doo, doodle, doo, doo, doo
