action man

        give him scars and khaki to wear
        remove his balls, he'll go anywhere
        he doesn't speak, he doesn't dare
        death sneaks, he isn't scared
        minus balls, he doesn't care
        jacks beware, action man.

        he can ack-ack Ackrington, bomb Berlin
        reduce your car to a heap of tin
        wage war, what's more - win
        punctured skin means nothing to him
        the human grenade minus pin
        that's him, action man

        a chin with a thin Kirk Douglas cleft
        squad by the bleeding left
        don't shout he's deaf
        head over heels in love with death
        beware of the wrath of the man bereft
        no marriage plans for action man
