It's the Army, Mr. Jones

Lyrics:

It's the Army, Mr. Jones,

No single rooms or private phones .

You used to eat your breakfast in bed,

but from now on you can no longer eat in bed.

This is the military, Mr. Green,

We like our barracks to be clean.

You used to hire a maid to sweep the floor for you,

but from now on you can no longer ask her to help you.

The sound of the trumpeter's trumpet is an order.

They are not playing in the band but serving as buglers.

This is the Army, Mr. Brown,

You and your girl have been wandering into town.

Her coquettishness annoys you,

But this is war, and she will never bother you again.

This is the Army Mister Jones,

No private rooms or telephones,

You had your breakfast in bed before,

But you wont have it there any more.

This is the Army Mister Green,

We like the barracks nice and clean,

you had a housemaid to clean your floor,

but she wont help you out any more.

Do what the buglers command,

They're in the army and not in a band .

This is the Army Mr. Brown,

You and your baby went to town.

She had you worried but this is war,

and she wont worry you any more.
