Vietnam Bogeyman
(Available IN PRINT HERE!)
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my head
He'll probably be there until I'm dead
The Vietnam Bogeyman followed me home
He goes with me wherever I roam
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my home
He walks the floors, he roams and roams
The Vietnam Bogeyman eats with me
He's in my john when I go pee
The Vietnam Bogeyman won't let me be
He's on every station when I watch TV
The Vietnam Bogeyman is always around
He even goes with me when I leave town
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my bed
Maybe that's why the nights I dread
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my chair
He's even with me when I comb my hair
The Vietnam Bogeyman is on the radio
This is a fact, this I know
The Vietnam Bogeyman goes with me fishing
I wish he'd go away. This I am wishing
The Vietnam Bogeyman is there when I get dressed
I wish he'd die and heaven would bless
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my shower
He's right beside me every hour
The Vietnam Bogeyman is in my dreams
If my wife wasn't with me, I'd surely scream
The Vietnam Bogeyman I see in the rain
Why does this animal cause so much pain?
The Vietnam Bogeyman is behind every door
I wish I could crush him on the floor
The Vietnam Bogeyman is alive and well
He followed me home from a place called Hell
