Lyrics It Makes Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier - Tom Lehrer
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
fella
proud
to
be
a
soldier
When
Pete
was
only
in
the
seventh
grade
he
stabbed
a
cop
He's
real
RA
material,
and
he
was
glad
to
swap
His
switch-blade
and
his
old
zip-gun
for
a
bayonet
and
a
new
M-1
It
makes
a
fella
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
fella
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
fella
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
fella
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
fella
proud
to
be
What
as
a
kid
I
vowed
to
be
What
luck
to
be
allowed
to
be
a
soldier!
At
ease
