Overture

Performed by All Soldier Orchestra and Chorus
Recorded July 30, 1942
(From the film, "This Is The Army"); Written by Irving Berlin

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 anymore

This is the Army, Mister Green!
We like the barracks nice and clean
You had a housemaid to clean my 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
No she won't worry you anymore
