Berlin Irving This Is The Army (1942) This Is The Army You thought that many, many years ago You saw the last of every soldier show But here we are, yes, here we are again A lot of water's gone across the dam Since we put make-up on for Uncle Sam To treat you as our fathers treated you then We were drafted by our president And we march with banners unfurled We were drilled and trained to represent The greatest army in the world Yes, the greatest army of actors in the world Now don't get us wrong We're not here for long Our stay in the theater is brief We're here with the show To help get some dough Some dough for the Army Relief The much-needed Army Relief But beneath the powder and beneath the paint There's a soldier brave and true If some guy in Congress tells you that we ain't Let him do what we had to do And go through what we went through We all have been selected From city and from farm They asked us lots of questions They jabbed us in the arm We stood there at attention Our faces turning red The sergeant looked us over And this is what he said This is the Army, Mister Jones No private rooms or telephones You had your breakfast in bed before But you won't have it there anymore This is the Army, Mister Green We like the barracks nice and clean You had a housemaid to clean your floor But she won't help you out anymore Do what the buglers command They're in the Army and not in a band This is the Army, Mister Brown You and your baby went to town She had you worried but this is war And she won't worry you anymore |
