They Say That In The Army

They say that in the Army the coffee's mighty fine It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine

Chorus:

Oh Lord, I wanna go

But they won't let me go

Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the chow is mighty fine

a chicken jumped off the table and started marking time

Chorus:

Oh Lord, I wanna go

But they won't let me go

Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the biscuits are mighty fine

one rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

Chorus:

Oh Lord, I wanna go

But they won't let me go

Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the training's might fine

last night there were ten of us, now there's only nine

Chorus:

Oh Lord, I wanna go

But they won't let me go

Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH!

They say that in the Army the pay is mighty fine

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

Chorus:

Oh Lord, I wanna go

But they won't let me go

Oh Lord, I wanna go hoo-hoo-hoooome EH
