The Thingts I'Ve Seen

Ooooh the things I’ve seen
Are not so adorable 
Actually they are quite horrible
Bloody wounds
In the middle of June 
I pray every day
For the blue and the gray
I hope this war will be over soon 
Or I just might become a loon
Ooooh the things i've seen
Blood, guts, broken bones
The sound of soldier’s mone
It’s so sad tears come to my eyes
I ask myself “why ooooh why”
Each day soldier’s get shot
Every time in a different spot
I must treat them all
Big or small
Ooooh the things I’ve seen
I know the odds are very slim
But I help all of them
I want to make every one happy 
Really quick and snappy
Maybe I could 
I think I should
I should call my helpful service the Red Cross
That would be nobody’s loss
Ooooh the things I’ve seen
My service would give people blood they need
This system would be free no need to beg or plead
I truly do hope my idea will work
The excitement makes me jerk
Ooooh the things I will see
