wrote this song in '42   i'll reincarnate just for you   marching to the battle drum   when this song was just a hum   rolling in my head   and keeping me from losing it   is this little soldier gonna make it   'till it's june n july?   till june n july?         it's hard to tell this story without   giving away confidential facts   about the secret army camp   and all it's occupants   two girls in particular   had the eyes of officers   upon them, they were twins   and their names happened to be   june n july   they were june n july   calling june n july   they were june n july         i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer   i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer         it was the coldest morning   we had seen upon the battlefield   two of the enlisted were frozen   from the inside out   and when they called for   special volunteers then   i knew that it was my turn   i stood up   and so did june n july   so did june n july         what happened on that day   i can't repeat   i'm sworn to secrecy   we thought we were   the side of righteousness   freedom and liberty   now i look back through the years   and i feel differently   what if we had waited   had held out   till it was june n july?   till june n july   calling june n july   oh june n july         i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer   i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer         will you listen to my story   call it testimonial   will it matter to you   will it change your mind at all   i know that you're young, girl,   got so much ahead of you   listen to your heart then   only to yourself be true         i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer   i can't fight the fever   when i think about that summer
