Lyrics for This Is The Army by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | This Is The Army (1942 | | Track: | This Is The Army | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
