Kurt Weill – Army Song lyrics

Army Song
Johnny joined up and Jimmy was there and George got a Seargant’s rating
Don’t give your right name the Army don’t care
And the life is so fascinating
Let’s all go barmy, live off the Army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down we wander into town
And if the population should greet us with indignation
We chop' em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw

Johnny got drunk on a gallon of gin and Jimmy did not drink tea and George replied with a right to the chin
For the army is just a pink tea
Let’s all go barmy, live off the Army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down we wander into town
And if the population should greet us with indignation
We chop' em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw

Johnny is missing Jimmy is dead and George went crazy shooting
But blood is blood and red is red
And the army is still recruiting.
Let’s all go barmy, live off the Army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down we wander into town
And if the population should greet us with indignation
We chop' em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw
