Okay, I didn't write this, it was written by two of my brilliant friends. I was stationed with these guys in Germany, back in '90-'91. They had a group called Caca (Coalition of American Comedic Actors.) They were good- really good. Here's a sample of their work.

Stress

Just got back from the fi-eld, and I don't know what to do.
Sitting in the barracks, makes me think of you
Makes me stressed,
Over you...

Got a letter from my Mo-om, said she had to shoot my dog.
Said he had distemper, baby, and he slobbered like a hog
Makes me stressed

No-body like to stress,
Everything becomes a mess,
I try to do my job, and I try to do my best,
But it makes me stressed!

Standing in the chow line, holding my green tray
From the looks of all the food here, I'm glad I don't have to pay!
The eggs are always runny, and the toast is always dry,
Them peas they look like carrots, and the coffee makes me cry!

So I just stress
And I get no rest

They say I'll find some buddies but I haven't found one yet Just a bunch of moochers who want to borrow money and cigarettes `Cause they're stressed! just like me...

Came up hot on a whiz quiz just the other day
Gave me an article 15, and they're takin' away my pay
I said I didn't do it, but I got it anyway
Got extra duty every day, that's why I'm diggin' this here ditch

So I just STRESS!
And wait for my ETS...

Stress, rest, ETS...
Stress, rest, ETS...

Believe me, it's a lot better in person.
