vacation in the foreign land

Uncle Sam does the best he can

You´re in the army now

Oh, oh you´re in the army - now


Now you remember what the draft man said

Nothing to do all day but stay in bed

You´re in the army now
         (Bass fill)
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now


You´ll be a hero of the neighbourhood

Nobody knows that you left for good

You´re in the army now
                  
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now

                               (Fill 1)
Smiling faces on the way to ´Nam

But once you get there no one gives a [bad word] 

You´re in the army now
                  
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now

Break - - - - 

                                  [bad word] breaks)
Hand grenades flying over your head


The sun´s flying over your head

If you wanna survive you´re out of bet

You´re in the army now
                  
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now


Shots ring out in the dead of night

The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight!"

You´re in the army now
                  
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now


You´ve got your orders to shoot on sight

your finger´s on the trigger but it don´t seem right

You´re in the army now
                 
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now

Guitar solo


Night is falling and you just can´t see

Is this illusion or reality

You´re in the army now
                  
Oh, oh you´re in the army - now


You´re in the army now
