Tank

I can sign for 1, 2 or 3 or 4
Get three weeks off in a year or more
Save up and get my very own SLR
'Cos I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Can you see the bullet's high velocity
It can blow a man's arm off at the
Count of three
If I get my hands on one of those
I'm something to watch out for
I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't care whereabouts they send me now
Send picture postcards to my old mother and father
And when I come home they'll have
Someone to be proud of
I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can drive (drive)
My very own tank
Yes, I can
Maim (maim)
