New Recruit

He said he wanted to be a good soldier
He said he wanted to fight - be a hero

Military costumes
In the magazines
Marching to the drums
Make real his wildest dreams

Its so dramatic-
We'll lead you to victory
Its so exciting
Don't want to turn back now

Forward into battle
Face the enemy
Young ambitious men go marching
Onto victory
So far away - fire away!

The blazing colours of battle attracted
He'll win a medal for his victory

Aiming at the front line
He is not afraid
Shooting at the men
Like ducks upon a range

He said he wanted to be a great soldier
He said he wanted to fight like his heroes

When you take the sunshine
You must take the rain
When you kill the wrong man
You must take the blame

So far away - fire away!
