I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

Can ＇ t wait to buy a new automobile

And a pair of two-tone shoes

I can walk right past my draft board

And I won ＇ t get no dirty looks

I can go down to the grocer

Without takin ＇ my ration books

I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

I can drive in a gas station

And get most anything I choose

I forgot the taste of bacon

Butter and whipped cream cake

At night I wake up screamin ＇ :

＂ Bring me a nice fat juicy steak ＂

I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

I ＇ m gonna buy my baby nylons

All the nylons she can use

No more fish on Tuesdays

I get plenty meat in my stews

There ＇ s plenty of cigarettes and chewing gum

And nuts and bolts and screws

I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

If someone say ＂ for the duration ＂

Brother I ＇ m gonna blow my fuse

I ＇ m gonna reconvert my baby

With a house and a diamond ring

We ＇ re gonna lock our door this winter

And we won ＇ t come out till spring

I got those re-hee-hee reconversion blues

I ＇ m gonna buy a brand new radio

That don ＇ t know how to get the latest news
