Billy Boy 2

Don't you want to go to war, Billy Boy, Billy Boy,
Don't you want to win a silver medal?
No desire do I feel
To defend Republic Steel
I'm a young thing, and cannot leave my mother.

Don't you want to see the world, Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Don't you want to see the world, Charmin' Billy?
It wouldn't be much thrill
To die for DuPont in Brazil
I'ma a young thing, and cannot leave my mother.

Note: a parody of Billy Boy, Child #12
From Songs for John Doe, Almanac Singers (1941)
