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
     Oh, oh you`re in the army - now

 You`ll be a hero of the neighborhood
 Nobody knows that you left for good
 You`re in the army now
 Oh, oh you`re in the army - now

     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

 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
     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
