The Infantry Blues (1943)

[GabrielAlejo2341]

Oh the air force gets the glory and the navy gets the cheers.

But all the dogface ever gets is mud behind the ears.

Yeah, the tank boys ride in comfort and the sailor takes a sail.

But the dogface never gets a chance to sit down on his tail.

Poor feet in my shoes, I got them infantry blues.

I wish I joined the tank corps.

Them guys got it sweet.

They sit and do their fighting on a nice soft seat.

Technical Fairy, first class at your service.

What's that you say?

The tanks?

Okay.

Tanks tanks tanks tanks tanks tanks, yabba dabba dabba show him to da tank corps.

Thank you very much pal, boy this is really swank.

You can have the infantry, I'll ride in a tank!

This kind of work just ain't my meat.

I wish to hell I'd joined the fleet.

The fleet?

A very interesting request.

Fleet fleet fleet fleet fleet abba dabba dabba show him to da navy.

Heave h* me hearties, heave h* for the open sea!

This is twice as easy as the poor old infantry.

Gimmie air!

Gimmie air!

P P P 30 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 show him to da air corps.

Boy, this really is the life.

No more worries, no more care.

The softest job of all is flying airplanes through the air.

I see you're back sir, here's your pack sir.

All the roads are pretty rough, parlez vous.

And all the services are tough, parlez vous.

So whether you fight as soldier or gob, get in there and pitch to finish the job.

Hinky dinky parlez vous.
