Lyrics

Beirut Boogie


Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long
Incoming rounds better boogie along
Probably be here way past fall,
Wonder what that pickup might hall.
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long

Stuck in Beirut, can't make a
long distance call
Stuck in Beirut, with my
new best friend Paul
Small arms fire off in the night
Am I wrong or am I right
Wonder what that pickup might hall.

I remember pulling duty in Vietnam,
Might have been different words,
but the same old song.
Sailors in the air, they helped us cope,
The USO might bring us Hope
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long

I remember pulling duty in Vietnam,
Might have been different words,
but the same old song.
Sailors in the air, they helped us cope,
The USO might bring us Hope
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long

I remember watching
reruns of Victory at Sea
We were always there a
fighting the Duke and Me.
But now I'm here and
it takes some nerve
But don't you know
I'm proud to serve
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long

Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long
Incoming rounds better boogie along
Probably be here way past fall,
Wonder what that
pickup truck might hall.
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long
Beirut Boogie, boogie all night long
