This is the Army movie - This Is The Army, Mister Jones lyrics

rate me

<br>

We all have been selected from city and from farm<br>

They asked us lots of questions, they jabbed us in the arm<br>

We stood there at attention, our faces turning red<br>

The sergeant looked us over and this is what he said:<br>

<br>

This is the Army, Mister Jones<br>

No private rooms or telephones<br>

You had your breakfast in bed before<br>

But you won't have it there any more<br>

<br>

This is the Army, Mister Green<br>

We like the barracks nice and clean<br>

You had a housemaid to clean your floor<br>

But she won't help you out any more<br>

<br>

Do what the buglers command<br>

They're in the Army and not in a band<br>

<br>

This is the Army, Mister Brown<br>

You and your baby went to town<br>

She had you worried but this is war<br>

And she won't worry you anymore<br>

<br>

[alternate verse from sheet music:]<br>

A bunch of frightened rookies were list'ning filled with awe<br>

They listened while a sergeant was laying down the law<br>

They stood there at attention, their faces turning red<br>

The sergeant looked them over and this is what he said:<br>

<br>
