 А на войне, как на войне, патроны, водка, махорка в цене.
 А на войне не лёгкий труд, а сам стреляй, а то убьют.
 М-м-м…
 А на войне, как на войне, подруга вспомни обо мне.
 А на войне неровен час, а может мы, а может нас.
 М-м-м…
 
 Комбат, батяня, батяня, комбат,
 Ты сердце не прятал за спины ребят.
 Летят самолёты и танки горят
 Добьёт, ё, комбат, ё, комбат.
 Комбат, батяня, батяня, комбат,
 За нами Россия, Москва и Арбат.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Комбат, ё, командует он.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Огонь батарея, огонь, огонь, огонь, огонь и я…
 
 А на войне, как на войне солдаты видят маму во сне,
 А на войне да то она, а всё серьёзней, чем в кино.
 М-м-м…
 Да война, война, война-а, дурная тётка, стерва она.
 Эх, война, война идёт, а пацана девчонка ждёт.
 М-м-м…
 
 Комбат, батяня, батяня, комбат,
 Ты сердце не прятал за спины ребят.
 Летят самолёты и танки горят
 Добьёт, ё, комбат, ё, комбат.
 Комбат, батяня, батяня, комбат,
 За нами Россия, Москва и Арбат.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Комбат, ё, командует он.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон.
 Огонь батарея, огонь батальон,
 Огонь батарея, огонь, огонь, огонь, огонь и я…
 
 А на войне, как на войне…
 А на войне, как на войне…
 
 
 
 I was a P.F.C. on a search patrol, huntin' 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 movin' 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"
 
 
 Chorus:
 Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
 Things are never quite the way they seem
 Woah-oh-oh-oh, 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
 Comin' through the brush, and all around our ears
 It was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eye
 And it was strange, but suddenly, I forgot my fears
 
 
 Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance
 And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
 'Cause they seemed to go right through him––just as if he wasn't there
 And in the mornin' 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, and we were had
 Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush
 And that big Marine, he just swat it with his hand
 Just like it was a fly...
 
 
 Chorus:
 Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
 Things are never quite the way they seem
 Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
 This was an awfully strange (big) Marine
 
 {spoken}
 And I knew there was somethin' weird about him,
 'Cause when I turned around,
 He was pullin' a big palm tree up outta the ground
 And swattin' those Charlies with it from here to kingdom come
 
 
 When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
 He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
 When I got back to my H.Q., I told 'em about my night
 And the battle I'd spent with a big Marine named Camouflage
 When I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
 And led me to a green tent on the right
 He said "You may be tellin' 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 dog tag, son, I know he'd want you to have it now"
 And we both said a prayer for a big Marine named Camouflage
 
 So next time you're in a jungle fight, and you feel a presence near
 Or hear a voice that in your mind will lodge
 Just be thankful that you're not alone––you've got some company
 From a big Marine the boys call Camouflage
