What Do You Do In The Infantry? Glenn Miller and His Orchestra (Ft. Artie Malvin & The Crew Chiefs)

(Vocals: Artie Malvin and Crew Chiefs)

What do you do in the infantry? You march, you march, you march
What do you do when your pack has got your back as stiff as starch?
"This is a mechanized war," they say; that saying is sure a bust
'Cause all that you see in the infantry is one another's dust

What do you do in the infantry? You hike, you hike, you hike
What do you do in the infantry? You lift and ride a bike
Everyone else can ride a jeep or fly up in the sky
But there's nothing to ride in the infantry, you're just a tired guy

[Bridge:]
The hard way, the hard way
Sweat 'til you get there, the hard way

What do they say in the infantry? They squawk and squawk and squawk
All upon milеs and miles and miles that they havе had to walk
They march across the ocean and that's quite a trick to do
But don't forget the air corps has done some marching, too

What do you do in the ground crew? You're always fixing planes
Never a chance to sleep and dream about beautiful G.I. Janes
Your patching a hole in the fuselage and loading the bombers sticks
What do you do in the ground crew? You fix and fix and fix
