Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age, Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, Till I’ve spent my wage. When I was young people spoke of immorality, All the things they said were wrong, Are what I want to be. (Hey) Over under sideways down, (Hey) Backwards forwards square and round. (Hey) Over under sideways down, (Hey) Backwards forwards square and round. When will it end, when will it end, When will it end, when will it end. ---

In her white lace You can clearly see the lady sadly looking. Saying that she’d take the blame For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up, I get down, I get up, I get down. Two million people barely satisfy. Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late. The eyes of honesty can achieve. How many millions do we deceive each day? I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down. ---

Oh, it’s great to get up in the morning, When the sun begins to shine, At 5 or 6 or 7 o’clock In the good old summertime. But when the snow is snowing, Or it’s murky overhead, Oh, it’s great to get up in the morning, But it’s nicer to stay in bed. ---

Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning Oh! How I’d love to remain in bed For the hardest blow of all isto hear the bugler call “Ya gotta get up, ya gotta get up, ya gotta get up this morning” Someday I’m going to murder the bugler Someday they’re going to find him dead I’ll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily And spend the rest of my life in bed And then I’ll get that other pup The guy who wakes the bugler up And spend the rest of my life in bed ---

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 ---
