June -n Lyrics

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
