The New Recruit - Michael Blessing[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Krasnow/Sam Ashe[00:00:00]
Oh sergeant I'm a draftee[00:00:14]
And I've just arrived in camp[00:00:16]
I've come to wear the uniform and join the marshall tramp[00:00:19]
And I want to do my duty[00:00:24]
But one thing I do implore[00:00:26]
You must give me lessons sergeant[00:00:29]
For I've never killed before[00:00:31]
To do my job obediently is my only desire[00:00:37]
To learn my weapon thoroughly and how to aim and fire[00:00:42]
Oh learn to kill the enemy and then find out what for[00:00:47]
Oh I'll need instructions sergeant[00:00:52]
For I've never killed before[00:00:54]
Now there are rumors in the camp about our enemy[00:01:00]
They say that when you see him[00:01:05]
He looks just like you and me[00:01:07]
But you deny it sergeant[00:01:10]
And you are a man of war[00:01:12]
So you must give me lessons[00:01:15]
For I've never killed before[00:01:17]
Now there are several lessons that I haven't mastered yet[00:01:23]
I haven't got the hang of how to use the bayonet[00:01:28]
If he doesn't die at once[00:01:33]
Should I stick him just once more[00:01:35]
Oh please be patient sergeant[00:01:38]
For I've never killed before[00:01:40]
And the hand grenade is something[00:01:46]
That I just don't understand[00:01:48]
You've got to throw it quickly[00:01:51]
Or you're apt to lose your hand[00:01:53]
Does it blow a man to pieces with its wicked[00:01:56]
Muffled roar[00:01:59]
Oh I've got so much to learn[00:02:01]
For I've never killed before[00:02:03]
Well I want to thank you[00:02:09]
Sergeant for the help you've been to me[00:02:10]
You've taught me how to kill and how to hate the enemy[00:02:14]
And I know that I'll be ready when they march me off to war[00:02:19]
And I know that it won't matter[00:02:24]
That I've never killed before[00:02:26]
Oh yes I know that it won't matter[00:02:28]
That I've never killed before[00:02:31]
