"B.F.P.O."   Army dreamers   "Mammy's hero"   "B.F.P.O."   "Mammy's hero"      Our little army boy   Is coming home from B.F.P.O.   We've a bunch of purple flowers   To decorate a mammy's hero      Mourning in the aerodrome   The weather warmer, he is colder   Four men in uniform   To carry home my little soldier      (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)   But he didn't have the money for a guitar   (What could he do? Should have been a politician)   But he never had a proper education   (What could he do? Should have been a father)   But he never even made it to his twenties      What a waste   Army dreamers   Ooh, what a waste of   Army dreamers      Tears o'er a tin box   Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know   Like a chicken with a fox   He couldn't win the war with ego      Give the kid the pick of pips   And give him all your stripes and ribbons   Now he's sitting in his hole   He might as well have buttons and bows      (What could he do? Should have been a rock star)   But he didn't have the money for a guitar   (What could he do? Should have been a politician)   But he never had a proper education   (What could he do? Should have been a father)   But he never even made it to his twenties      What a waste   Army dreamers   Ooh, what a waste of   Army dreamers      Ooh, what a waste of all that   Army dreamers   Army dreamers   Army dreamers, oh      Did n, did n, did n, dum   (B.F.P.O.)   (Army dreamers)   Did n, did n, did n, dum   (Mammy's hero)      Did n, did n, did n, dum   (B.F.P.O.)   (Army dreamers)   Did n, did n, did n, dum   (Mammy's hero)      (B.F.P.O.)   No harm heroes   (Mammy's hero)   (B.F.P.O.)   Army dreamers   (Mammy's hero)
