As long as he wants to go
We'll stay with the old man
wherever he wants to stay
As long he stays away from
Especially when he keeps us on the ball
And we'll tell the kiddies
Gee, I wish I was back in
The army wasn't really bad at all
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
There's always someone higher
up where you can pass the buck
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the army
Gee, I wish I was back in
The army was the place to find romance
the WAC's who dressed in slacks
The best of doctors watched you carefully
for weeks and weeks they'd work
They make a thousand dollar
job and give it to a jerk
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in
Three meals a day for which
I thought that I was through with all
But after months and months
Gee, I wish I was back in the army now!
