《It Makes Fellow Proud to be a Soldier》歌词

[00:00:00] It Makes Fellow Proud to be a Soldier - Tom Lehrer
[00:00:00] I have only comparatively recently emerged from the
[00:00:03] United States Army
[00:00:04] So that I am now of course in the radioactive reserve
[00:00:08] And the usual jokes about the Army aside
[00:00:11] One of the many fine things one
[00:00:12] Has to admit is the way that the Army has carried the
[00:00:15] American democratic ideal to its logical conclusion
[00:00:18] In the sense that not only do they prohibit discrimination
[00:00:21] On the grounds of race creed
[00:00:23] And color but also on
[00:00:24] The grounds of ability
[00:00:36] Be that as it may
[00:00:37] Some of you may recall the publicity
[00:00:39] A few years ago
[00:00:40] Attendant upon the Army's search for
[00:00:42] An official Army song to be the counterpart of the Navy's
[00:00:45] Anchors Aweigh and the Air Force's
[00:00:48] Up In The Air Junior Birdman and so on
[00:00:51] I was I was in basic training at
[00:00:57] The time and I recall our platoon sergeant
[00:01:01] Who was an unfrocked Marine
[00:01:06] Actually Actually the change of service
[00:01:11] Had come as quite a blow to him because it meant that
[00:01:13] He had to memorize a new serial number which took up
[00:01:15] Most of his time
[00:01:24] At any rate
[00:01:25] I recall this sergeant's informing me and
[00:01:27] My roommates of this rather deplorable fact
[00:01:36] That the Army didn't have any official
[00:01:38] Excuse me didn't have
[00:01:39] No official song and suggested that
[00:01:44] Suggested that we work on this in
[00:01:46] Our copious free time
[00:01:48] Well I submitted the following song
[00:01:51] Which is called
[00:01:51] It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier
[00:01:53] Which I think demonstrates the proper spirit
[00:01:56] You'll agree However the fact that it did not win the
[00:01:59] Contest I can ascribe only to blatant favoritism on part
[00:02:01] Of the judges
[00:02:06] The heart of every man in our platoon must swell with pride
[00:02:10] For the nation's youth
[00:02:11] The cream of which is marching at his side
[00:02:13] For the fascinating rules and regulations that we share
[00:02:17] And the quaint and curious costumes
[00:02:19] That we're called upon to wear
[00:02:26] Now Al joined up to do his part defending you and me
[00:02:30] He wants to fight and bleed and kill and die for liberty
[00:02:34] With the hell of war he's come to grips
[00:02:36] Policing up the filter tips
[00:02:38] It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier
[00:02:44] When Pete was only in the seventh grade
[00:02:47] He stabbed a cop
[00:02:48] He's real R A material and he was glad to swap
[00:02:52] His switchblade and his old zip gun
[00:02:54] For a bayonet and a new M-1
[00:02:56] It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier
[00:03:01] After Johnny got through basic training he
[00:03:04] Was a soldier through and through when he was done
[00:03:08] Its effects were so well rooted
[00:03:09] That the next day he saluted
[00:03:11] A Good Humor man an usher and a nun
[00:03:20] Now Fred's an intellectual
[00:03:22] Brings a book to every meal
[00:03:24] He likes the deep philosophers
[00:03:25] Like Norman Vincent Peale
[00:03:29] He thinks the army's just the thing
[00:03:32] Because he finds it broadening
[00:03:34] It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier
[00:03:41] Now Ed flunked out of second grade
[00:03:43] And never finished school
[00:03:44] He doesn't know a shelter half from an entrenching tool
[00:03:48] But he's going to be a big success
[00:03:50] He heads his class at OCS
[00:03:52] It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier
[00:03:56] Our old mess sergeant's taste buds
[00:03:58] Had been shot off in the war
[00:04:01] But his savory collations add to our esprit de corps
[00:04:05] To think of all the marvelous ways
[00:04:07] They're using plastics nowadays
[00:04:09] It makes a fellow proud to be a soldier
[00:04:14] Our lieutenant is the up and coming type
[00:04:17] Played with soldiers as a boy you just can bet
[00:04:21] It is written in the stars
[00:04:22] He will get his captain's bars
[00:04:24] But he hasn't got enough box tops yet
[00:04:29] Our captain has a handicap to cope with sad to tell
[00:04:33] He's from Georgia
[00:04:34] And he doesn't speak the language very well
[00:04:37] He used to be so rumor has
[00:04:39] The Dean of Men at Alcatraz
[00:04:41] It makes a fellow proud to be
[00:04:43] What as a kid I vowed to be
[00:04:45] What luck to be allowed to be a soldier
[00:04:50] At ease
