You're in the Army Now

anonymous [a folk song of the Great War that was carried over into World War Two]

You're in the Army now,
You're not behind a plow,
You'll never get rich,
By diggin' a ditch,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army now,
You're not milkin' a cow,
You'll never get rich,
By savin' a stitch,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army now,
You're not stuffin' a craw,
You'll never get rich,
By scrubbin' ev'ry niche,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army now,
You're not killin' a sow,
You'll never get rich,
By marchin' off yur hitch,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army Now

You're in the Army now,
Uncle Sam needs yer know-how,
You're here to make the Emperor bow,
The sergeants 'll show you how,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army now,
Uncle Sam wants yer know-how,
You're here to make der Führer yow,
The sergeants 'll teach you how,
You're in the Army now.

You're in the Army Now

You're in the Army now,
The sergeants own you anyhow,
They'll make you tremble an' twitch,
You poor son-of-a-bitch,
You're in their Army now!
