I Wish I Was a Blue Job

Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die With ten years to go in the R.L.I. The Sergeant that signed me up Had a face like the back of a truck A tattoo on each knee And legs like a Mukwa tree And the Medic that did my test He left me standing in my vest And then when I didn't see He stamped me with a T.A.P. Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die With ten years to go in the R.L.I. Down at the quartermaster store I said I take size 4 They gave me size 3 for sports It was a pair of open neck shorts I was in the cookhouse queue Waiting for my beans and stew The cook just winks at me And slips the bluestone in my tea Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die With ten years to go in the R.L.I. Standing on parade Never get a bit of shade Out in the blazing sun With the temperature a hundred and one And you know there's nothing worse Than doing the assault course When the sweat is running free And it smells like a chipotle Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die With ten years to go in the R.L.I. We had a contact the other day But the terrs all ran away We were firing the M.A.G. From the hip like Audie Murphy So if I go up in a puff of smoke It's better than being a slope Or a fuzz from the B.S.A.P. I'd very much rather be me Sometimes I wish I was a Blue Job, up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk if I could fly But, I'll be a Brown Job until I die With ten years to go in the R.L.I.
