Pink Berets Lyrics

Ratification of the ERA
Recruiting poster beckons, "See Mandalay"
Sign the papers, shots pack ready to go
Now I'm a boy in the USO

Ballroom dancing
Propaganding
News from stateside
Free Jeep ride

I'm not a yum-yum boy like those in Zagreeb
I really go for girls in Army fatigues
Strictly professional, I'm no easy lay
I could talk about howitzers all day

Punch and movies
Noncom smoothies
Khaki sweaters
Dear Jane letters

Discussing strategy with General Jean
Arm wrestling with a lady marine
Black market nylons, baby, give me your dough
Now I'm a boy in the USO
Go

Little Chinese boys, they run to my side
Say, "Mister, how about you give me a ride?"
I smile and throw some change for the world to know
We're not cheap here in the USO

Bob Hope, groovers
Tight maneuvers
Girl G.I. craze
Pink berets

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
