Chorus:
Oh I don't want no more (I can't take no more) of Army life
Gee Ma I wanna go, but they won’t let me go;
Gee Ma, I wanna go HO-O-OME

The first aid that they give you, they say is mighty fine,
But if you cut your finger, you’re left with only nine.

Repeat Chorus

The coffee that they give us, they say is mighty fine,
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine.

Repeat Chorus

The spaghetti that they serve you, they say is mighty fine
They rinse it the toilet and drain it on the line.

Repeat Chorus

The biscuits that they give us, they say are mighty fine,
One fell off a table and killed a pal of mine.

Repeat Chorus

The clothes that they give us, they say are mighty fine,
Me and my buddy, can both fit into mine.

Repeat Chorus

They treat us all like monkeys and make us stand in line,
They give you fifty dollars a month and take back forty-nine.

Repeat Chorus

The girls at the service club they say are mighty fine,
Most are over eighty and the rest are under nine.

Repeat Chorus

They say that in the army, the drinks are mighty fine
You ask for Coca Cola they give you turpentine.

Repeat Chorus

They say that in the Army the jeeps are mighty fine,
They go around the corner and leave the wheels behind.

Repeat Chorus

The tents/cabins that you sleep in, they say are mighty fine,
But whoever said this has never slept in mine.

Repeat Chorus

The toilets that they have here are the best that they can get,
Last night my tent mate had to go, they haven’t found him yet.

Final Chorus

Oh I don't want no more (I can't take no more) of Army life
Gee Ma I wanna go, but they won’t let me go;
Gee Ma, I wanna go HO-O-OME
