Another of my favourites songs

Lyrics:

English - When I Was Drafted as a Soldier

When they took me in the army
they shaved my head completely
I looked as if I were a moron
as all others around me me-me-me
as all others around me

They confined me to my barracks
And began to instruct me
How to be a proper soldier,
how to protect my country- try-try-try
how to protect my country

In the room after we had lights out
I snuggled against the wall
I blubbered out so nicely
for my love who I recalled-called-called-called
for my love who I recalled

When she came to see me in six months
I had a pneumonia bout
In the hall someone always came
so then nothing came about out-out-out
so then nothing came about

Do not cry, oh these eyes of mine
There´s nothing else she could do
A young girl needs to find love
so love she helped herself toto-to-to
so love she helped herself to

It was then in front of the gate
she met a big-star major
He said that his quarters were just free
so she let him go with her-her-her-her
so she let him go with her

Why take interest in a soldier
when his girl has let him down
Goodbye, Mr. Fráňa Šrámek
This little song´s over now-now-now-now
How on earth did you like it?
It´s nothing special anyhow
