The Old Man / Gee, I Wish I Was Back In the Army

We'll follow the old man wherever he wants to go

Long as he wants to go

Opposite to the foe

We'll stay with the old man wherever he wants to stay

Long as he stays away from the battle spray

Because we love him (we love him)

Especially when he keeps us on the ball

And we'll tell the kiddies we answered dutys call

With the grandest song of a soldier of them all

Attention! (attention)

Gee i wish I was back in the army (we'll follow the old man)

The army wasn't really bad at all (star striped)

Three meals a day

For which you didn't pay (pay)

Uniforms for winter, spring and fall

There's a lot to be said for the army (We'll follow the old man)

The life without responsibility

A soldier out of luck

Was really never stuck

There's always someone higher up where you can pass the buck

Oh Gee, I wish I was back in the Army

Gee I wish I was back in the Army

The Army was the place to find romance

Soldiers and WACS (Hey Hey!)

The WACS who dressed in slacks

Dancing cheek to cheek and pants to pants

There's a lot to be said for the Army

The best of doctors watched you carefully

A dentist and a clerk

For weeks and weeks they'd work

They'd make a thousand dollar job and give it to a jerk

Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army

Three meals a day

For which you didn't pay

I thought that I was through with all my care and strife but after months and months of tough civilian life

Oh gee, I wish I was back in the Army now!
