This is the Army, Mister Jones
No private rooms or telephones
You had your breakfast in bed before
But you won't 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 won't help you out any more
Do what the buglers command
They're in the Army and not in a band
This is the Army, Mister Brown
You and your baby went to town
She had you worried but this is war
And she won't worry you anymore
I left my heart at the stagе door canteen
I left it there with a girl namеd Eileen
I kept her serving doughnuts, 'til all she had were gone
I kept her serving doughnuts, 'til she caught on
I must go back to the Army routine
And every doughboy knows what that will mean
A soldier boy without a heart, has two strikes on him from the start
And my heart's at the stage door canteen
No private rooms or telephones
You had your breakfast in bed before
But you won't 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 won't help you out any more
Do what the buglers command
They're in the Army and not in a band
This is the Army, Mister Brown
You and your baby went to town
She had you worried but this is war
And she won't worry you anymore
I left my heart at the stagе door canteen
I left it there with a girl namеd Eileen
I kept her serving doughnuts, 'til all she had were gone
I kept her serving doughnuts, 'til she caught on
I must go back to the Army routine
And every doughboy knows what that will mean
A soldier boy without a heart, has two strikes on him from the start
And my heart's at the stage door canteen
