ARMY MAN (Pete Ham)
[from "Acoustic" - recorded 1972 - released 2025]

Monkey man done tie me down below
Monkey man done tie me down below
Monkey man done tie me down below
He's clever, but not together
Monkey man done tie me down below, ooooo

Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
You're clever, but you're not together
Oh Army man, don't take me to the front, oh no

Monkey man done take me down below
Monkey man done tie me down below
Monkey man done tie me down below
He's clever, but not together
Now Monkey time (man) done tie me down below, ooooo

Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
You're clever, but not together
Army man, don't take me to the front

I said, Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
Army man, don't take me to the front
You're clever, but not together
Army man, don't take me to the front
Okay, okay, okay
