I'll be a hero when I strike, I'm uptight and out of sight,They'll say I'm dynamite and they'd like to be there when I light,Cause I'll be a hero when I strike.I love God and the flag and I ain't the kind to stand and brag,And I'm the kind to stand right up and fight.Won't need a uniform to wear to make the people stop to stare,Cause I'll be a hero when I strike.I'll be a hero when I strike, I'm uptight and out of sight,I'm that dynamite and they'd like to be there when I light,Cause I'll be a hero when I strike.Won't shake hands until I'm sore, Wear medals hangin' to the floor,They'll throw rocks at Franklin and his cat,They'll say boy ain't that cowboy hot, Ain't nothin' he ain't got,I'm gonna be a hero when I strike.I'll be a hero when I strike, I'm uptight and out of sight,They'll say I'm dynamite and they'd like to be there when I light,Cause I'll be a hero when I strike.
