[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
He's a war baby, the son of Zorro
He's a war baby, the son of Zorro
War baby, been through mama, the bomb and 'Nam
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby

[Verse 2]
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Scared baby, ate puffed wheat, x-rayed his feet
In the atom age, war baby

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Water ice, sleeveless fights
(DeSoto, DeSoto)
"Angel Eyes," Simoniz
(Yes, I know)

[Verse 3]
He's a scared baby, he's afraid of a plane
Hid under his desk in a hundred air raids
Scared baby, dug in dirt, watched Wyatt Earp
In the atom age, atom age, atom age, scared baby
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Led three lives, commie spies
(Holy Joe, holy Joe)
Go Marines, Cloverine
(Yes, I know)

[Verse 4]
He's a war baby, the son of Zorro
He's a war baby, the son of Zorro
War baby, been through mama, the Bomb-a-rama

[Outro]
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby
He's a war (He's a war, he's a war), war baby...
