I can tell that you’re not from here Your intentions seem perfectly clear You stayed away from your friends all night We could be each other’s special finds Maybe I’m not precisely the type You expected to find here tonight I’m not exactly a military man But I’ve been looking for a special friend For all this time you’ve been trying To find that someone special I know that I am not the kind Of special that you had in mind But I’m special; they tell me all the time I’m more of what you’d call a fan Of demonstrations of armament I am here to see the parades And the warships and the tanks and the planes Why should we resist the impulse? To buy tickets for these shows of force? We can go where our hearts command To fleet weeks all across the land Airshows lighting up the skies While all the soldiers are passing by Chanting crowds with the tears in their eyes Guided tour of all the vessel types I wanna hear that glorious sound Of fireworks exploding all around I wanna go where our hearts command To fleet weeks all across this land
