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

Lyrics

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 son of a soldier of them all Attention! (attention) Gee i wish I was back in thе army (we'll follow the old man) The army wasn't rеally 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!
