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 fellow 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 fellow proud to be a soldier!

After Johnny got through basic training, he
Was a soldier through and through when he was done.
Its 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 fellow 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 fellow 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 fellow 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 fellow proud to be,
What as a kid I vowed to be,
What luck to be allowed to be a soldier. (At ease!)


Mirror lyrics:

What luck to be allowed to be a soldier. (At ease!)
What as a kid I vowed to be,
It makes a fellow proud to be,
The Dean of Men...at Alcatraz.
He used to be, so rumor has,
He's from Georgia, and he doesn't speak the language very well.
Our captain has a handicap to cope with, sad to tell.

But he hasn't got enough box tops yet.
He will get his captain's bars,
It is written in the stars
Played with soldiers as a boy, you just can bet.
Our lieutenant is the up-and-coming type,

It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier!
They're using plastics nowadays.

i wanna be with you tonight

life won't wait

in the still of the night

the secret wish

channel 3

fingernails

sueãƒâ±os

panama

oooh your love

one more reggae for the road

somewhere over the rainbow

just a bend in rhe road

still falling

believe it yourself

the river of time

a million things at once

how can i make you love me

old friend

kiss you all over

anywhere
