[Verse:]
|
I've been a soldier quite a while and I would like to state
|
The life is simply wonderful, the Army food is great
|
I sleep with ninety-seven others in a wooden hut
|
I love them all, they all love me, it's very lovely but
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning
|
Oh! How I'd love to remain in bed
|
|
For the hardest blow of all
|
Is to hear the bugler call
|
You've got to get up
|
You've got to get up
|
You've got to get up this morning
|
|
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
|
Someday they're going to find him dead
|
|
I'll amputate his reveille
|
And step upon it heavily
|
And spend the rest of my life in bed
|
|
[Alternate lines in 2nd Refrain:]
|
And then I'll get that other pup
|
The guy who wakes the bugler up
|
