Mash Sound Theme - The Army Song lyrics

Army Song
(from episode "Movie Tonight")


Father Mulcahy:
A chaplain in the Army has a collar on his neck,
if you don't listen to him you'll all wind up in heck.

[Chorus]: Oh I don't want no more of Army life, Gee Ma, I wanna go home!

Hawkeye & B.J.:
Oh the surgeons in the Army they say we're mighty bright,
we work on soldiers through the day and nurses through the night.

[Chorus]

Colonel Potter:
Friendships in the Army they say are mighty rare,
so I spend all my free time carousing with my mare.

[Chorus]

the Nurses:
The surgeons in the Army, they're bright, they are profound,
but we'll take chopper pilots they'll get you off the ground.

[Chorus]

Radar O'Reilly:
The corporals in the Army you say we're really green,
but if it weren't for us guys you'd be in the latrine.

[Chorus]

Corporal Klinger:
Oh some guys like the Army I think that it's a mess,
if it's so damn terrific how come I wear a dress?

[Chorus]

Margaret Houlihan:
Oh some nurses in the Army they haven't tied the knot,
but this one's gonna try it with Donald Penobscott.

Ending chorus:

Oh I don't want no more of Army life, Gee Ma, I wanna go,
But they won't let me go, Gee Ma, I wanna go home!
Frank Burns:
Oh Hawkeye and oh B.J.,
they think they're pretty smart,
I'd like to take a scalpel and stab them in the heart.
