Review

November, 12th 2016

2:46 of very army sound. If in 2015 this song would be performed again, the singers would have become 40 years younger, their mouths would opened at 5 centimeters lesser, and facial expressions would not be so endlessly cheerful, like puppies saw their masters. And surely the main woman performers would be much more curvaceous, such as Nicky Minaj. The audience of those years loved this, because they were the same – old-fashioned, vintage. Outdated.

Gee! I Wish I Was Back in the Army lyrics

"White Christmas" soundtrack

Gee! I Wish I Was Back in the Army Song Lyrics

When I was mustered out

I thought without a doubt

That I was through with all my care and strife

I thought that I was then

The happiest of men

But after months of tough civilian life

Gee, I wish I was back in the Army

The Army wasn't really bad at all

Three meals a day

For which you didn't pay

Uniforms for winter, spring and fall

There's a lot to be said for the Army

The life without responsibility

A soldier out of luck

Was really never stuck

There's always someone higher up where you can pass the buck

Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army

[2nd chorus for female:]

Gee, I wish I was back in the Army

The Army was the place to find romance

Soldiers and WACS

The WACS who dressed in slacks

Dancing cheek to cheek and pants to pants

There's a lot to be said for the Army

A gal was never lost for company

A million handsome guys

With longing in their eyes

And all you had to do was pick the age, the weight, the size

Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army

[3]

Gee, I wish I was back in the Army

The shows we got civilians couldn't see

How we would yell for Dietrich and Cornell

Jolson, Hope and Benny all for free

There's a lot to be said for the Army

The best of doctors watched you carefully

A dentist and a clerk

For weeks and weeks they'd work

They'd make a thousand dollar job and give it to a jerk

Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army

[coda:]

Three meals a day

For which you didn't pay

A million handsome guys

With longing in their eyes

I thought that I was through with all my care and strife

But after months and months of tough civilian life

Oh, gee

I wish I was back in the Army now
