1
Robert was a sailor
2
For the best years of his life
3
His captain was his mother
4
And the ocean was his wife
5
Only fresh out of the cradle
6
Life's one and only spring
7
He was sworn to do his duty
8
And got blood on his highschool ring
9
Chorus:
10
And it's hello california
11
Hello dad and mom
12
Ship ahoy
13
Your baby boy
14
Is home from vietnam
15
Don't you ask me any questions
16
'bout the medals on my chest
17
Take the star out of the window
18
And let my conscience take a rest
19
Now he sailed across the ocean
20
To the old far eastern war
21
And it was foreign to his body
22
It was foreign to his shore
23
So he traded in the present
24
For the better times he'd seen
25
And made an oriental waitress
26
His own home comin' queen
27
(repeat chorus)
