Gee, But I Want to Go Home (Army Life) - Pete Seeger

Well the coffee that they give you

They say is mighty fine

It’s good for cuts and bruises and

It tastes like iodine

I don’t want no more of Army life

Gee, but I want to go home

Well the biscuits that they give you

They say are mighty fine

One rolled off a table and it

Killed a pal of mine

I don’t want no more of Army life

Gee, but I want to go home

Oh, the chicken that they give you

They say is mighty fine

One rolled off a table and

Started marking time

I don’t want no more of Army life

Gee, but I want to go home

Well the girls in the PX

They say are mighty fine

Most are over ninety and

The rest are under nine

I don’t want no more of Army life

Gee, but I want to go home

Well, oh, they treat us all like monkeys

And make us stand in line

Give you fifty dollars and

Take back forty-nine

I don’t want no more of Army life

Gee, but I want to go

Gee, but I want to go

Gee, but I want to go home
