Giraffe Welcome Home
Teacher, teacher, teach me true
Teacher teach me right
There's the drum and bugle corps
Where's the guiding light?
And you say I'll find it out there
You've a dream that we can all share
So I'm a noble soldier
Cause I'm all that I can be
We'll fight the good fight and we'll win
With camaraderie
What can we tell you that would make it seem
As though this all were worthwhile?
Oh, welcome home
No, I know it's not the same
Cause now it's just a game
That we don't want to lose
No, no time to contemplate
My conscience was too late
And now I can't refuse
Teacher, teacher, teach me right
Teacher teach me true
Is there a ticker tape parade
Or medals when I'm through?
Ain't it funny how the time flies
And I see the world through your eyes
Hello mom and dad, it's me
I'm calling from the war
I'd love to stay and talk with you
But I must kill some more
What can we tell you that would make you feel
As though this all were worthwhile?
Oh, welcome home
No, I know it's not the same
Cause now it's just a game
That we don't want to lose
No, no time to contemplate
My conscience was too late
And now I can't refuse
