Lyrics:

Well,
I don't wanna be a soldier mama,
I don' wanna die,

Well,
I don't wanna be a sailer mama,
I don't wanna fly,

Well,
I don't wanna be a failure mama,
I don't wanna cry,

Well,
I don't wanna be a soldier mama,
I don't wanna die,

Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,

Well,
I don't wanna be a rich man mama,
I don't wanna cry,

Well,
I don't wanna be a poor man mama,
I don't wanna fly,

Well,
I don't wanna be lawyer mama,
I don't wanna lie,

Well,
I don't wanna be a soldier mama,
I don' wanna die,

Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,

Well,
I don't wanna be a beggar mama,
I don't wanna die,

Well,
I don't wanna be a thief now mama,
I don't wanna fly,

Well,
I don't wanna be a church man mama,
I don't wanna cry,

Well,
I don't wanna be a soldier mama,
I don't wanna die,

Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no.
