Private John Q Lyrics



Well I read it in the papers and I see it on the television
Everybodys worried about world war three
Here I am a single boy, unemployed and everything
Somebody better stop and worry about me

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

Sometimes I get disheartened I try not to even think about it
Heaven knows its hard to keep from lettin it get me down
But Ill stand proud when everybody elsell be
A-runnin helter skelter for the shelter underground

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

When I was a little boy I used to sit and dream of travellin
To lots of foreign countries on sight-seeing tours
The way its looking now I can stop saving money
Maybe go free, sponsored by the third world war

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q
Hup-2-3-4-5-6-

Roger Miller - Private John Q Lyrics
Well I read it in the papers and I see it on the television
Everybodys worried about world war three
Here I am a single boy, unemployed and everything
Somebody better stop and worry about me

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

Sometimes I get disheartened I try not to even think about it
Heaven knows its hard to keep from lettin it get me down
But Ill stand proud when everybody elsell be
A-runnin helter skelter for the shelter underground

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

When I was a little boy I used to sit and dream of travellin
To lots of foreign countries on sight-seeing tours
The way its looking now I can stop saving money
Maybe go free, sponsored by the third world war

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q

Well cant you just see me now chin up and chest out
A hup-2-3-4 all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Whos gonna worry about private john q
Hup-2-3-4-5-6-
