Dut da da dut
(Dut da da da da da dut)
Dut dut dut dut
(Dut da da da da da dut)
Dut da da dut
(Dut da da da da da dut)
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
(Da dot da dot)

(Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
(Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
A casual look (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
A little wink (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
Can reveal (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
Just what you think (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
So don’t be shy (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
Don’t even cry (Dut da dut da dut)
For I am your guy
I am your guy

A soldier boy (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
When he proposed (Dut da da da da da dut da dut) (baby please)
She said “no” (Dut da da da da da dut da dut) (oh come on baby)
His face just froze (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
You know she loved him (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
But was so young (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
Can’t marry no one (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
Can’t marry no one

Oh darling can’t you see
That I’m goin’ overseas
For two three four years
Don’t know how long it will be
So hear hear my plea
And come marry marry me
Before it’s too late

And so with a smile (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
We walked down the aisle (Dut da da da da da dut da dut)
She in her wedding dress (Dut da da da da da dut dut)
A vision of happiness (Dut da da da da da dut dut)
And just to think (Dut da da da da da dut dut)
All it took (Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Was a casual look (Dut da da da da da dut dut)

(Dut da da dut)
(Dut da da dut)

(Dut da da dut da dut da dut)
Oh oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Ohohoh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
Oh oh oh
(Dut da da da da da dut dut)
