They Say that in the Army

They Say That in the Army

CHORUS (Repeat between verses) Oh Lord, I wanna go But they won’t let me go Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hooome

Verses:

Biscuits in the army They say are mighty fine. One rolled off the table And killed a buddy of mine.

Coffee in the army They say is mighty fine. It’s good for cuts and bruises And tastes like iodine.

The pay in the army They say is mighty fine. They give you fifty dollars And take back forty-nine.

The turkey in the army They say is mighty fine. One jumped off the table And chased a buddy of mine.

The girls in the army They say are mighty fine. You ask for Betty Grable They give you Frankenstein.

Shoes in the army They say are mighty fine. You ask for number seven They give you triple-nine.
