[00:00:47] I was a PFC on a search patrol huntin' Charlie down

[00:00:52] It was in the jungle wars of '65

[00:00:57] My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone

[00:01:02] And I could hear the enemy movin' in close outside

[00:01:07] Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun

[00:01:11] And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate

[00:01:16] And then a big marine a giant with a pair of friendly eyes

[00:01:21] Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait

[00:01:26] When he came in close beside me he said

[00:01:28] Don't worry son I'm here

[00:01:31] If Charlie wants to tangle now he'll have two to dodge

[00:01:35] I said

[00:01:36] Well thanks a lot

[00:01:37] I told him my name and asked him his

[00:01:40] And he said

[00:01:41] The boys just call me Camouflage

[00:01:46] Whoa Camouflage

[00:01:50] Things are never quite the way they seem

[00:01:55] Whoa Camoufalge

[00:01:59] I was awfully glad to see this big marine

[00:02:04] Well I was gonna ask him where he came from

[00:02:06] When we heard the bullets fly

[00:02:09] Coming through the brush

[00:02:10] And all around our ears

[00:02:14] It was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eye

[00:02:18] And it was strange but suddenly I forgot my fears

[00:02:37] Well we fought all night side by side we took our battle stance

[00:02:42] And I wondered how the bullets missed this man

[00:02:47] Cause they seemed to go right through him

[00:02:50] As if he wasn't there

[00:02:52] And in the mornin' we both took a chance and ran

[00:02:56] And it was near the river bank when the ambush came on top of us

[00:03:01] And I'd thought it was the end and we were had

[00:03:06] Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush

[00:03:11] And that big marine he just swatted it with his hand

[00:03:16] Just like it was a fly

[00:03:22] Whoa Camouflage

[00:03:25] Things are never quite the way they seem

[00:03:31] Whoa Camouflage

[00:03:35] This was an awfully strange Marine

[00:03:49] And I knew there was something weird about him

[00:03:51] Cause when I turned around he was pullin' a big palm tree

[00:03:54] Right up out of the ground

[00:03:56] And swattin' those Charlies with it from here to Kingdom Come

[00:04:04] When he led me out of danger

[00:04:05] I saw my camp and waved goodbye

[00:04:08] He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone

[00:04:13] And when I got back to my HQ I told 'em about my night

[00:04:18] And the battle I'd spent with a big marine named Camouflage

[00:04:22] When I said his name a soldier gulped

[00:04:25] And a medic took my arm

[00:04:27] And led me to a green tent on the right

[00:04:32] He said

[00:04:32] You may be tellin' the truth boy

[00:04:34] But this here is Camouflage

[00:04:37] And he's been right here since he passed away last night

[00:04:42] In fact he's been here all week long

[00:04:46] But before he went he said

[00:04:48] Semper Fi

[00:04:49] And said his only wish

[00:04:51] Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage

[00:04:56] So here take his dog tag son

[00:04:58] I know he'd want you to have it now

[00:05:01] And we both said a prayer for a big marine named Camouflage

[00:05:06] Whoa Camouflage

[00:05:11] Things are never quite the way they seem

[00:05:16] Whoa Camouflage

[00:05:20] This was an awfully big marine

[00:05:25] So next time you're in a jungle fight

[00:05:27] And you feel the presence near

[00:05:30] Or hear a voice that in your mind will lie

[00:05:35] Just be thankful that you're not alone

[00:05:38] And you got some company

[00:05:41] From a big Marine the boys called Camouflage

[00:05:54] Whoa Camouflage

[00:05:58] Things are never quite the way they seem

[00:06:04] Whoa Camouflage

[00:06:08] This was an awfully big Marine

[00:06:13] Whoa Camouflage

[00:06:18] Things are never quite the way they seem

[00:06:23] Whoa Camouflage

[00:06:27] This was an awfully big Marine
