Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a sailor mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a failure mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Well, I don't wanna be a rich man mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a poor man mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer mama, I don't wanna lie

Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, hey!

Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a thief now mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a churchman mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, hey!

Oh well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Well, I don't wanna be a sailor mama, I don't wanna fly

Well, I don't wanna be a failure mama, I don't wanna cry

Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
