Lyrics

Johnny joined up and Jimmy was there
And George got a sergeant's rating
Don't give your right name, the army don't care
And the life is so fascinating
Let's all go barmy, live off the army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down
We wander into town
And if the population
Should greet us with indignation
We chop 'em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw!
Johnny drank up 'til his gut caved in
And Jimmy did not drink tea
And George replied with a right to the chin
For the army is just a pink tea
Let's all go barmy, live off the army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down
We wander into town
And if the population
Should greet us with indignation
We chop 'em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw!
Johnny is missing, Jimmy is dead
And George went crazy shooting
But blood is blood and red is red
And the army is still recruiting
Let's all go barmy, live off the army
See the world we never saw
If we get feeling down
We wander into town
And if the population
Should greet us with indignation
We chop 'em to bits because we like our hamburgers raw!
Written by: Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Marc Blitzstein
