Handing out those games in the dark
Those who walk past her screams
Are only reminded of love's young dreams
A scuffle while in his arms
Can only prove the strength of his charms
Woman you're pinned up
On the wall in front of you
A soldier's life is very tough
Needs tender loving when fighting's through
Join the professionals (the professionals)
Join the professionals (the professionals)
Join the professionals (the professionals)
Yes they're really strangers in the night
Or they're saying to me if you put up a fight
It's not just a kiss you owe me
With all this ammunition loaded
I bought you a drink and well
We're walking hand in hand"
