I think these lyrics are wrong. It's not "Get some pearly walks before they turn to frogs," (I mean, what does that even mean???), but "polly wogs before they turn to frogs," you know, polly wogs (spelling?) the little fish things that turn into frogs (sheesh, who made up pearly walks?). Also, it's not "Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he loves his men the way he loves [his arm]," but "...he lost his mind when he lost his arm." Anyway, great song, good feeling, but really, try and get the lyrics right.
