They Say That in the Army

They say that in the Army, the chick's mighty fine

One jumped off the table and started marking time

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the pay is mighty fine

They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine

It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine

One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine

But how the heck would I know, I've never slept in mine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine

One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go home

They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine

It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine

One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the toilets are mighty fine

You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go

They say that in the Army, the tents are waterproof

You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof

Oh, Lord I wanna go

But they won't let me go
