SONG FOR MR.. LEWIS
Of the proposed induction law ever
included him.
This is the Army, Mister L.
No suite in any smart hotel;
You've given order with one loud
roar,
But you're not doing that any more!
No telling others what to do
With such dictation you are
through
You've issued edicts and threats
galore,
But you're not doing that any morel
II.
This is the Army, Johnny boy
No long discussions you'll enjoy;
You've pooh-phooed orders since
days of yore,
But you're not doing that any more!
No bushy eyebrow stuff from YOU
You'll get frontal" haircut, too;
You've made nation hot, sick and
But you're not doing that any more!
III.
This is the Army, Mister Big
Nothing to do but dig and dig;
You've beloved loudly and held
the floor
But you're not doing that any more!
No loud demands that burn and
just take your turn at the PIX:
You love to thunder and slam
But your not doing that any more!
w.
You're in the Army, Lewis, yes!
You'll do more work and sputter
less;
You've tied up war work while we
Shed gore
But you're not doing that any more!
No meetings in some hotel suite
No weekly turning on the heat
You've baked the battle and re-
duced the score
But you're not doing that any more!
v.
You're in the Army, as you see!
Grab up a bucket for k. D.!
You've laughed at orders and cried
Ignored"
But you'll not laugh at them any
more!
No naughty tones and manners
You'll peel potatoes when you're
told:
You've been the big chief and an
awful bore
But you're not being that any more!
