A September Lyric

I am reminded of the lyrics put together by one of the Triple Deuce Lt.s just before we boarded the boat to Viet Nam. I may have already posted this but since only a handful read this blog they have probably forgotten that I did so. It was to the tune of "See You in September."*

I'll be alone each and every night
While I'm away don't forget to write

Bye, bye, so long, farewell

See you in September
See you when the war is through
There we were saying goodbye at the station
LBJ's nation has taken me away

Bye baby, goodbye [thrown in at various times as I recall]

While we're alone each and every night,
Counting the days and the hours too,

Have a good time
But remember
There is danger when the darkness falls
Will I see you in September
Or will the VC have me by the balls.

* "See You in September" is a song written by Sid Wayne and Sherman Edwards.
