"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 a 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? 
Should have been a rock star."
But he didn`t have the money for a guitar. 
"What could he do? 
Should have been a politician."
But he never had a proper education. 
"What could he do? 
Should have been a father."
But he never even made it to his twenties. 
What a waste -- 
Army dreamers. 
Ooh, 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? 
Should have been a rock star."
But he didn`t have the money for a guitar. 
"What could he do? 
Should have been a politician."
But he never had a proper education. 
"What could he do? 
Should have been a father."
But he never even made it to his twenties. 
What a waste -- 
Army dreamers. 
Ooh, what a waste of 
Army dreamers. 
Ooh, what a waste of all that 
Army dreamers, 
Army dreamers, 
Army dreamers, oh...

("B.F.P.O.")
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum... 
Army dreamers. 
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum... 
("Mammy`s hero.") 
("B.F.P.O.")
Army Dreamers. 
("Mammy`s hero.") 
("B.F.P.O.")
No harm heroes. 
("Mammy`s hero.") 
("B.F.P.O.")
Army dreamers. 
("Mammy`s hero.") 
("B.F.P.O.")
No harm heroes.
