I signed up to serve my country
and I mean it when I say,
I'm proud to do my duty
for the good old USA.
They sent me to an island in
the Caribbean Sea,
but it ain't no pearl at all,
it's just another place to be.
And I wonder what I'll do again tonight
Maybe have a couple beers
and try to keep out of fights
And I don't want to bust your bubble
I don't want to bring you down
But out here in Gitmo,
it's the only game in town
Yeah
They promised us new gear,
they promised us new boots
They promised in four months
we'd be replaced by new recruits
I got here in January,
thinking I'd be home by spring
Now it's looking like I'll need to
buy a Cuban Christmas tree
Oh Santa, won't you come this way
Do you need directions
to Guantanamo Bay
I don't want to bust your bubble
I don't want to bring you down
But out here in Gitmo
It's the only game in town
They got the Army, Navy,
Air Force
and United States Marines
Hell, they even got the Coast Guard
lookin' out for submarines
It's a homely girl's paradise,
that's what they're tellin' me
But homely's just a state of mind,
they both look good to me
Jumpin' off the cliffs
into a shark -infested bay
Dodgin' jellyfish,
it's just another fun -filled day
And I don't wanna bust
your bubble,
I don't wanna bring you down
But out here and gettin' on,
it's the only game in town,
yeah
There's 4 ,000 Cubans
on the north side of the fence
Just waiting for a chance
to put their training to the test
Sometimes I wish they wouldn't,
I'd give that exam
And show them how we do it
when we fight for Uncle Sam
I wonder if the people back home
have any idea at all
where we've gone
I don't wanna bust your bubble,
I don't wanna bring you down
But out here in Gitmo,
it's the only game in town
I don't wanna bust your bubble,
I don't wanna bring you down
But out here in Gettemo,
it's the only game in town
Out here in Gettemo,
it's the only game in town
