Chor Leoni | Erick Lichte, Artistic Director Tina Chang, piano Peter Joosten, accordion Keith Sinclair, guitar Michael Soderling, percussion Ian Farthing, soloist (sergeant) Dreamers... Dreamers... Dreamers... Army dreamers (Fall in!) B.F.P.O. Army dreamers Mammy's hero B.F.P.O. Mammy's hero Our little army boy Is coming home from B.F.P.O. I've a bunch of purple flowers To decorate mammy's hero Mourning in the aerodrome The weather warmer, he is colder Four men in uniform To carry home my little soldier What could he do Shoulda' been a rock star But he didn't have the money for a guitar What could he do (Fall in!) Should have been a politician But he never had a proper education What could he do (Fall in!) Should have been a father But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste Army dreamers Oh, what a waste of Army dreamers Tears o'er a tin box Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know Like a chicken with a fox He couldn't win the war with ego Give the kid the pick of pips And give him all your stripes and ribbons Now he's sitting in his hole He might as well have buttons and bows What could he do (Fall in!) Shoulda' been a rock star But he didn't have the money for a guitar What could he do (Fall in!) Should have been a politician But he never had a proper education What could he do (Fall in!) Should have been a father But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste Army dreamers Oh, what a waste of Army dreamers Oh, what a waste of all that Army dreamers Army dreamers Army dreamers B.F.P.O. Army dreamers Mammy's hero (What a waste of army dreamers) (Fall in!) B.F.P.O. (Oh what a waste of) Army dreamers Dreamers Dreamers Dreamers Army Dreamers
