Private John Q Lyrics

Well I read it in the papers and I see it on the television Everybody’s worried about world war three Here I am a single boy, unemployed and everything Somebody better stop and worry about me Well can’t you just see me now chin up and chest out A hup-2-3-4 all day through Everybody seems to be worried about something or other Who’s gonna worry about Private John Q Sometimes I get disheartened I try not to even think about it Heaven knows it’s hard to keep from lettin’ it get me down But I’ll stand proud when everybody else’ll be A-runnin’ helter skelter for the shelter underground Well can’t you just see me now chin up and chest out A hup-2-3-4 all day through Everybody seems to be worried about something or other Who’s gonna worry about Private John Q When I was a little boy I used to sit and dream of travellin’ To lots of foreign countries on sight-seeing tours The way it’s looking now I can stop saving money Maybe go free, sponsored by the third world war Well can’t you just see me now chin up and chest out A hup-2-3-4 all day through Everybody seems to be worried about something or other Who’s gonna worry about Private John Q Well can’t you just see me now chin up and chest out A hup-2-3-4 all day through Everybody seems to be worried about something or other Who’s gonna worry about Private John Q Hup-2-3-4-5-6-
