In-Country R & R

A chopper ride to base camp
Stand down - 72 hour R & R
Five miles in the back of a deuce and a half
Doughnut Dollies in pin striped dresses call
How ya doin’, fellas
A crowded taxi to Tu Do Street
Neon lights and Rock & Roll music
Hey GI, you buy me drink
A steam bath and massage
At a steam and cream
Whisky flows - falling down drunk
Clean sheets, sleep ‘til noon
Head pounding, another drink to stop the pain
Five more hours in the back of a truck
Base-camp looks the same
One-seventy five and a wake up
