Vietnam War was on
I feared the most for my brother John
He didn't wanna go to war
Bad enough living in Reservoir
Reservoir, Reservoir
Bad enough living in Reservoir
All revolved around your birthday
That's when you got that Purple Haze
If you were unlucky in that jam
They sold your body to Uncle Sam
Reservoir, Reservoir
Bad enough living in Reservoir
Didn't wanna go to war
Vietnam War in Reservoir
In the month of John's birthday
We checked the letterbox everyday
If he got the call up card
We'd hide in a foxhole in our backyard
I was in the call up too
Checking the letterbox, checking the letterbox
Dived my frighten paw right in
But dodged a ticket to Ho Chi Mihn
Dodged a ticket to Ho Chi Mihn
Harold Holt had no f*cking clue
Don't wanna Waltz Matilda for you
We didn't wanna go to war
Bad enough living in Reservoir
Bad enough living in Reservoir
Reservoir, Reservoir
Bad enough living in Reservoir
He didn't wanna go to war
Bad enough living in Reservoir
