Well I read it in the papers
And I see it on the television
Everybody's worried about a world war 3
Here I am a single boy, unemployed, and everything
Somebody better stop and worry about me
Well can't you just see me now
Chin up and chest out
Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about Private John Q
Sometimes I get disheartened
And try not to even think about it
Heaven knows it's hard to keep from letting it get me down
But I stand proud when everybody else will be running Helter Skelter for their shelter underground
Well can't you just see me now
Chin up and chest out
Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about Private John Q
When I was a little boy
I used to sit and dream of traveling
To lots of foreign countries on sight seeing tours
The way it's looking now I can stop saving money
Maybe go free sponsored by a third world war
Well can't you just see me now
Chin up and chest out
Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about Private John Q
Can't you just see me now
Chin up and chest out
Hup 2, 3, 4, all day through
Everybody seems to be worried about something or other
Who's gonna worry about Private John Q
