[Intro]
This is a protest against protesters

[Verse 1]
Fearless cowards of the USA
Bravely here at home they stay
They watch their friends get shipped away
The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret

[Verse 2]
Yellow streaks up and down their spines
Men who gladly stay behind
They won't fight for the USA
They fought hard for a yellow beret

[Verse 3]
Men who faint at the sight of blood
Their high-heeled boots weren't meant for mud
The draft board will hear their sob stories today
Only the best win the yellow beret

[Verse 4]
Back at home a young wife waits
Her yellow beret has met his fate
He's been drafted for marching in a protest
Leaving her his last request
[Verse 5]
Put a yellow streak down my son's back
Make sure that he never ever fights back
At his physical have him say he's gay
Have him win the yellow beret

[Outro]
The yellow beret
(You can't take me)
The yellow beret
(I've got a hurt knee and I've got a bad back)
The yellow beret
(And I'm allergic to everything, and I have asthma)
The yellow beret
(And look at that hangnail
And I've got a pimple on my trigger finger)
The yellow beret
(And besides, I know those planes are in college
But I'm just starting to learn)
The yellow beret
(I call it now)
The yellow beret
(Well, we were planning on having children sometime soon)
The yellow beret
(My Dad)
The yellow beret
Yeah the yellow beret now
The yellow beret baby (Oh yeah)
Ah the yellow beret now
The yellow beret baby
The yellow beret, ooh ooh ooh
