This is the Army movie - Opening Chorus lyrics

rate me

<br>

You thought that many, many years ago<br>

You saw the last of every soldier show<br>

But here we are, yes, here we are again<br>

A lot of water's gone across the dam<br>

Since we put make-up on for Uncle Sam<br>

To treat you as our fathers treated you then<br>

We were drafted by our President<br>

And we march with banners unfurled<br>

We were drilled and trained to represent<br>

The greatest army in the world<br>

Yes, the greatest army of actors in the world<br>

<br>

Now don't get us wrong<br>

We're not here for long<br>

Our stay in the theater is brief<br>

We're here with the show<br>

To help get some dough<br>

Some dough for the Army Relief<br>

The much-needed Army Relief<br>

<br>

But beneath the powder and beneath the paint<br>

There's a soldier brave and true<br>

If some guy in Congress tells you that we ain't<br>

Let him do what we had to do<br>

And go through what we went through<br>

<br>
