June -n- July Lyrics

Wrote this song in '42

I'll reincarnate just for you

Marching to the battle drum

When this song was just a hum

Rolling in my head

And keeping me from losing it

Is this little soldier gonna make it

'till it's june n july?

Till june n july?



It's hard to tell this story without

Giving away confidential facts

About the secret army camp

And all it's occupants

Two girls in particular

Had the eyes of officers

Upon them, they were twins

And their names happened to be

June n july

They were june n july

Calling june n july

They were june n july



I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer

I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer



It was the coldest morning

We had seen upon the battlefield

Two of the enlisted were frozen

From the inside out

And when they called for

Special volunteers then

I knew that it was my turn

I stood up

And so did june n july

So did june n july



What happened on that day

I can't repeat

I'm sworn to secrecy

We thought we were

The side of righteousness

Freedom and liberty

Now i look back through the years

And i feel differently

What if we had waited

Had held out

Till it was june n july?

Till june n july

Calling june n july

Oh june n july



I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer

I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer



Will you listen to my story

Call it testimonial

Will it matter to you

Will it change your mind at all

I know that you're young, girl,

Got so much ahead of you

Listen to your heart then

Only to yourself be true



I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer

I can't fight the fever

When i think about that summer
