Full Metal Jacket Main Theme Lyrics

Left right left right left right left

I love working for Uncle Sam (2x)
Let me know just who I am (2x)
1 2 3 4 United States Marine Corps (2x)
1 2 3 4 I love the Marine Corps (2x)
My Corps (my Corps) your Corps (your Corps)
Our Corps (our Corps) Marine Corps (Marine Corps)

Mmm good (mmm good)
Pick up the step a little bit to slow
We're going a little bit to slow

Left right left right left right left
Left right left right left right left

I don't want to teenage queen (2x)
I just want my M14 (2x)
If I die in the combat zone (2x)
Box me up and ship me home (2x)
Pin my medals on my chest (2x)
Tell me Mom I done my best (2x)
Bury my body six foot down (2x)
'til you hear it hit the ground (2x)
When it hits the bottom you'll hear me say (2x)
I wanna be your Drill instructor (2x)
I wanna cut off all of my hair (2x)
I wanna be your Drill instructor (2x)
I wanna wear my smokey bear (2x)

Oh yeah (oh yeah) ah ha (ah ha) oh yeah (oh yeah)

Clap on yer left foot (2x)
Every other left foot (2x)

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
goodbye my sweetheart hello Vietnam

America has heard the bugle call
and you know it involves us one and all
I don't suppose that war will ever end
there's fighting that will break us up again
Goodbye my darling hello Vietnam
a hill to take a battle to be won
Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
goodbye my sweetheart hello Vietnam

A ship is waiting for us at the dock
America has trouble to be stopped
We must stop communism in that land
Or freedom will start slipping through our hands
Goodbye my darling...

I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don't put out will bigger burn
We must save freedom now at any cost
or someday our own freedom will be lost
Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone.
Goodbye my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.
