I got the Rotation Blues
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
But rotation's comin', so I should have no fear
Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
'Cause the FEC's too Far East for me
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
'Cause the A-frames in Korea just don't look good on me
I got the Rotation Blues
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (I'm buggin' out)
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (section eight's gonna get me)
The honey pots in Korea done started smellin' good to me
Now this rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
This rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
And them rotation papers sure is hard to get
I got the Rotation Blues
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
I'm a lonely soldier sittin' in Korea
But rotation's comin', so I should have no fear
Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
Just a few more weeks, rotation's gonna set me free
'Cause the FEC's too Far East for me
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
I'm gonna pack my bags and sail back over the sea
'Cause the A-frames in Korea just don't look good on me
I got the Rotation Blues
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (I'm buggin' out)
Rotation had better hurry up and set me free (section eight's gonna get me)
The honey pots in Korea done started smellin' good to me
Now this rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
This rain in Korea sure gets cold and wet
And them rotation papers sure is hard to get

Interpretata da Elton Britt, cantante country specializzato nello “yodeling”. Per intenderci, il “country-yodel” è quel genere musicale che nel film “Mars Attacks!”, diretto da Tim Burton nel 2006, si rivela l’unica arma in grado di sconfiggere i perfidi alieni che hanno invaso la Terra…
Canzone del giovane soldato spedito in Corea che non vede l’ora dell’arrivo dell’avvicendamento (“rotation”). Infatti le cose non vanno affatto bene laggiù: il Far East Command (F.E.C.) è davvero troppo lontano, il cibo non è buono (così credo sia da intendersi il riferimento agli “A-frames”, cioè i cavalletti su cui sono esposti i menu fuori dei bar) e tocca sempre andare a svuotare qualche latrina (ironicamente “honey pot”, “vaso di miele”)…
