Soldier's Song

[of WWII Army vintage]

On every poster that I read, it says the Army builds men;
so they're tearin' me down to build me over again!

I wouldn't give a bean to be a fancy-pants Marine
I'd rather be a dog-faced soldier like I am!

I wouldn't swap good weather for all the Fly Boy's leather
'cause carryin' my GI pack makes me happy as a clam!

I wouldn't trade my old ODs for all the Navy's dungarees
'cause I'm the walkin' pride of Uncle Sam!
