Текст песни In Which I Finally Admit That I Won World War II Single-Handed (Allan Sherman) с переводом

I was in World War II

(Hooray)

I don’t know what

Thank you very much

I was not gonna take credit

For the entire victory, folks

But certainly now that you’ve recognized

The part that I played

I can hardly lie about it

I was in Camp Walters, Texas for the entire period

Only five miles from a town called Mineral Wells

Which I wish not to describe at this

(Yeah)

Wait a minute, yeah, for mineral wells, yeah

Are you from Mineral Wells, sir?

(No)

Okay, anyway, I was readin' about these kids

That didn’t wanna get drafted

And I thought it would be a good idea

If somebody wrote a song for them to listen to

And I wrote the following song, which goes like this

Advice to teenage boys who are about to get drafted
