Swingin' Utters — Soldier Boy lyrics

Lyrics

Good solid build, this ripe young kid has sharpened up for killing men
Polished new shoes and uniform, not a bad sort
«Just came here on a whim»
And now our soldier boy is missing home
And now our little boy is dead as a stone
Big toothy grin, peach fuzz on cheeks
Snow-white combed hair, lanky physique
Mobile, but awkwardly made-up like some wannabe debutante
And now our soldier boy is leaving his own
And, this old rag-tag neighborhood has folded and gone
Good solid build, this ripe young kid has sharpened up for killing men
Polished new shoes and uniform, not a bad sort
«Just came here on a whim»
And now our soldier boy is missing home
And now our little boy is dead as a stone
Big toothy grin, peach fuzz on cheeks
Snow-white combed hair, lanky physique
Mobile, but awkwardly made-up like some wannabe debutante
And now our soldier boy is leaving his own
And, this old rag-tag neighborhood has folded and gone
And now our little boy is missing home
And now our soldier boy is dead as a stone
And this bright young chill is chilling me
But it’s not you, who lives on a farm
