Lyrics[]
- The army's not the army anymore
- It's better than it's ever been before
- The bugler blows, I can't get 'em up
- At quarter after seven
- But if you're tired, stay right there
- Sleep until eleven
- Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
- The Army's not the Army anymore
- It's better than it's every been before
- You used to walk a mile for beans
- But now they bring them to ya
- And all the Generals say "hello"
- As though they really knew ya
- Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
- They've got a lot of hostesses
- The gals are really cuties
- And entertaining these co-eds
- Is part of your regular duties
- Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
- The Army's not the Army anymore
- It's better than it's ever been before
- The Seargent isn't tough anymore
- He's careful not to bore you
- Just tell him when you're peelin' spuds
- And he will peel them for you
- Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
- No, the Army's not the Army anymore
