I have only comparatively recently emerged from the united states army
So that I am now of course in the radio active reserve
And the usual jokes about the army aside one of the many fine thin
E has to admit is the way that the army has carried the american
Democratic ideal to its logical conclusion in the sense
That not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race cre
Nd color but also on the grounds of ability
Be that as it may some of you may recall the publicity a few years ago
About the army's search for an official army song to be the counterpart of th
Y's anchors away and the airforce's up in the air junior birdman songs
I was in basic training at the time and I recall our platoon sergeant who was an unfrocked marine
Actually the change of service had come as quite a blow to him
Because it meant that he had to memorize a new serial number which took up most of his time
At any rate I recall this sergean
Nforming me and my room mates of this rather deplorable fact
The army didn't have any official excuse me didn't have no official song
And suggested that we work on this in our copi
Ree time
Well I submitted the following song which is called it makes a fellow
Proud to be a soldier which I think demonstrates the proper spirit you'll agree
However the fact that it did
In the contest I can ascribe only to blatant favoratism on the part of the judges
The heart of every man in our platoon must swell with pride
For the nation's youth the cream of which is marching at his side
For the fascinating rules and regulations that we share
And the quaint and curious costumes that we're called upon to wear
Now al joined up to do his part defending you and me
He wants to fight and bleed and kill and die for liberty
With the hell of war he's come to grips
Policing up the filter tips
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
When pete was only in the seventh grade he stabbed a cop
He's real r a
Material and he was glad to swap
His switchblade and his old zip gun
For a bayonet and a new m 1
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
After johnny got through basic training he
Was a soldier through and through when he was done
It's effects were so well rooted
That the next day he saluted
A good humor man an usher and a nun
Now fred's an intellectual brings a book to every meal
He likes the deep philosophers like norman vincent peale
He thinks the army's just the thing
Because he finds it broadening
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
Now ed flunked out of second grade and never finished school
He doesn't know a shelter half from an entrenching tool
But he's going to be a big success
He heads his class at ocs
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
Our old mess sergeant's taste buds had been shot off in the war
But his savory collations add to our esprit de corps
To think of all the marvelous ways
They're using plastics nowadays
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier
Our lieutenant is the up and coming type
Played with soldiers as a boy you just can bet
It is written in the stars
He will get his captain's bars
But he hasn't got enough box tops yet
Our captain has a handicap to cope with sad to tell
He's from georgia and he doesn't speak the language very well
He used to be so rumor has the dean of men at alcatraz
It makes a fella proud to be
When as a kid I vowed to be
One ought to be allowed to be
A soldier
At ease
