Thread Name: REQ: ID song: I met a marine, strangest man I've..
Subject: Lyr Req: Song-I've got better things to do
Many years ago (in the sixties, I think ) I was watching a tv show called"Hootenanny" and although I never cared much for the program a certain song caught my ear.Here is the first verse of the song (which is all that I remember):
             The other day I met a Marine.
             He was the strangest thing I've seen.
             He said "You'd look better in jungle green."
             Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey!
             I've got better things to do

The song was sung by John Fogarty Not the lead singer of CCR, though I'm not sure of that.Does anyone know this song?
