I was a PFC on a search patrol, hunting Charlie down
It was in the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy moving in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap, and I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
And then a big marine, a giant with a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder and said: "Wait"
When he came in close beside me, he said: "Don't worry son, I'm here
If Charlie wants to tangle, now he'll have two to dodge
I said: "Well, thanks a lot". I told him my name and asked him his
And he said "The boys just call me Camouflage"
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big marine
Well I was gonna ask him where he came from
When we heard the bullets fly
Coming through the brush and all around our ears
It was then I saw this big marine, a lotta fire in his eyes
And it was strange, but suddenly I forgot my fears
Well we fought all night, side by side, we took our battlestands
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
Cus they seemed to go right through him, just as if he wasn't there
And the morning we both took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of us
And I thought it was the end, we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzing through a bush
And that big marine, he just swat it, with his hand
Just like it was a fly
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
This was an awfully strange marine
And I knew there was something weird about him
Cus when I turned around he was pulling a big palmtree
Right up out of the ground and swatting those Charlie's with it
From here to Kingdom come
When he led me out the danger, I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
And when I got back to my H.Q. I told them about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big marine named Camouflage
When I said his name, a soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said: "You may be telling true boy, but this here is Camouflage
And he's been right here since he passed away last night
In fact he's been here all week long
But before he went he said: "Semper Fi", and said his only wish
Was to save a young marine caught in a barrage
So here, take his dogtag, son. I know he'd want you to have it now"
And we both said a prayer for a big marine named Camouflage
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
So next time you're in a junglefight, and you feel a presence near
Or hear a voice that in your mind will lie
Just be thankful that you're not alone and you've got some company
From a big marine, the boys called Camouflage
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
