The Army's Not the Army Anymore
The Army's Not the Army Anymore ist ein satirischer Propagandasong aus dem Cartoon Donald Gets Drafted (1942), der von Carl Barks und Leigh Harline geschrieben wurde und die amerikanische Armee zu Zeiten des zweiten Weltkriegs bewerben sollte.
Für den Cartoon „Der Tarnanstrich“ (The Vanishing Private, 1943) wurde die Melodie erneut verwendet.[1]
Text[Bearbeiten]
The army's not the army anymore
It's better than it's ever been before
The bugler blows, I can't get 'em up
At quarter after seven
But if you're tired, stay right there
Sleep until eleven
Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
The Army's not the Army anymore
It's better than it's every been before
You used to walk a mile for beans
But now they bring them to ya
And all the Generals say "hello"
As though they really knew ya
Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
They've got a lot of hostesses
And entertaining these co-eds
Is part of your regular duties
Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
The Army's not the Army anymore
It's better than it's ever been before
The Seargent isn't tough anymore
He's careful not to bore you
Just tell him when you're peelin' spuds
And he will peel them for you
Oh, the Army's not the Army anymore
No, the Army's not the Army anymore
