CHARLIE’S STORY.

 

They seek him here, they seek him there.

They’re looking for Charlie everywhere.

Look up high, look down low.

Where he is, you’ll never know.

In the bushes, in the grass.

Charlie will creep, right up your arse.

Snipes from high up in the trees.

Or in a Bunker, on his knees.

You won’t find him, no matter what.

All you’ll do, is get shot.

 

Charlie is the master of disguise.

For your life, is his prize.

Charlie don’t want to get hit.

So he stays light, fast and fit.

Only eats rice and fish.

Out of a wooden bowl or dish.

Lives in the jungle or underground.

You’ll never know, when Charlie’s around.

You can’t smell him, see him or hear him.

When he shoots you, you feel him.

 

Charlie’s got nowhere to run to.

So he’ll stay and fight, until he kills you.

Charlie has no fear.

As we found out to our cost, year after year.

Very resourceful, with his booby trap.

Be very careful, when you squat to crap.

Check and search, around the grass.

Or a Pungi steak, might pierce your arse.

Watch very carefully, where you tread.

Or Bang, you’ll end up maimed or dead.

 

Charlie has no R&R, or weekends off.

He’s always there, just to piss you off.

When he finally shows his face.

It’s because he wants you to chase.

An ambush, is normally what he has in store.

Charlie’s there waiting to score.

He waits until you’ve nearly past.

Then shoots you all, and gets out fast.

Just like Phantoms in the night.

Charlie is very hard to fight.
