When I was mustered outI thought without a doubtThat I was through with all my care and strifeI thought that I was thenThe happiest of menBut after months of tough civilian lifeGee, I wish I was back in the ArmyThe Army wasn't really bad at allThree meals a dayFor which you didn't payUniforms for winter, spring and fallThere's a lot to be said for the ArmyThe life without responsibilityA soldier out of luckWas really never stuckThere's always someone higher up where you can pass the buckOh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army[2nd chorus for female:]Gee, I wish I was back in the ArmyThe Army was the place to find romanceSoldiers and WACSThe WACS who dressed in slacksDancing cheek to cheek and backs to backsThere's a lot to be said for the ArmyA gal was never lost for companyA million handsome guysWith longing in their eyesAnd all you had to do was pick the age, the weight, the sizeOh, gee, I wish I was back in the ArmyGee, I wish I was back in the ArmyThe shows we got civilians couldn't seeHow we would yell for Dietrich and CornellJolson, Hope and Benny all for freeThere's a lot to be said for the ArmyThe best of doctors watched you carefullyA dentist and a clerkFor weeks and weeks they'd workThey'd make a thousand dollar job and give it to a jerkOh, gee, I wish I was back in the ArmyThree meals a day For which you didn't payA million handsome guys With longing in their eyesI thought that I was through with all my care and strifeBut after months and months of tough civilian lifeOh, geeI wish I was back in the Army now
