A Tankman


I have loved this nice girl
For her beautiful face
For her wide open eyes
For golden hair and grace

But she dreamed of a man
That was driving a tank
But she dreamed of a man
That had some honors and rank

(And do you know
what she replied me
for all this?)

Your mother is a teacher
in a school
Your father plays piano,
can't you see
You seem to be an ordinary fool,
But not a tankman to me

I have loved this nice girl
For her beautiful face
For her wide open eyes
For golden hair and grace

Have not slept for three nights
Got a headache at day
Asked my question again
But she replied me the same

Your mother is a teacher
in a school
Your father plays piano,
can't you see
You seem to be an ordinary fool
Not like a tankman to me
