Standin’ bravely, order - rank to rank,
Lookin’ foolish, like the stupid Shreck -
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
Smilin’ faces several days before
Are today so serious therefore -
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
Captain shouts worse than crazy dog,
Platoon’s runnin’ through the dense, damp fog -
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
“Old chap” kicks you to your big, fat back,
Causin’ flight into foul ditch - he’s mad!
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
Already hate your good-for-nothing life,
(You really hate your good-for-nothing life!),
Should run away within the next few nights
From damned Army (shame!))
Wow, oh, from damned Army (shame)!
No time surrender, soldier, can’t despair:
Take your tommy gun, shoot to the air -
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
At home’s waitin’ for you sweet slim girl,
So be a man, and don’t admit crude faults -
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
You’re in the Army now,
Wow, oh, you’re in the Army now!
