Gee, I wish I Was Back in the Army

歌詞

When I was mustered out I thought without a doubt That I was through with all my care and strife I thought that I was then The happiest of men But after months of tough civilian life Gee, I wish I was back in the Army The Army wasn't really bad at all Three meals a day For which you didn't pay Uniforms for winter, spring and fall There's a lot to be said for the Army 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 [2nd chorus for female:] Gee, I wish I was back in the Army The Army was the place to find romance Soldiers and WACS The WACS who dressed in slacks Dancing cheek to cheek and backs to backs There's a lot to be said for the Army A gal was never lost for company A million handsome guys With longing in their eyes And all you had to do was pick the age, the weight, the size Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army Gee, I wish I was back in the Army The shows we got civilians couldn't see How we would yell for Dietrich and Cornell Jolson, Hope and Benny all for free 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 A million handsome guys With longing in their eyes 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
