He's 1-A in the Army and He's A-1 in My Heart

Performed by the King Sisters
Recorded July 1941
Written by Redd Evans

From coast to coast in this great nation
Each man has got his classification.
Pray tell me, pray tell me, what's yours?

I've got a man who's really something
This man of mine, he ain't missin' nothin'.
No wonder I'm happy to say:

Chorus
He's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart,
He's gone to help the country that helped him to get a start.
I love him so because I know he wants to do his part,
For he's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart.
And just in case you're quizzical,
I'm gonna tell you now,
He passed the toughest physical--
He passed it, gals, and how!
For I know why he rates so high on Uncle Sammy's chart,
'Cause he's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart.

[repeat chorus]
