As I was walking down the road A feeling fine and larky oh A recruiting sergeant came up to me Says he, you'd look fine in khaki oh For the King he is in need of men Come read this proclamation oh A life in Flanders for you then Would be a fine vacation

Drop down, look suh you know I need to know 'Cause you keep telling me your love ain't free, babe Said if you ride, baby, ride up Pull up from behind, baby, wine up And you and me, we can shine up So, baby, come make your mind up Baby, babe, I need you
