Greetings, this is Uncle Sam. I want to take you to a far off land. I need you. I need you.
Oh, I need you. Yes, I need you. To lend a helping hand. Say goodbye to all your buddies. Say hello to your new friend.
Cause you're in the army now. Your new life has just begun. I need you. Oh, I need you. Yes, I need you. To lend a helping hand.
I can just see you now. With a rifle in my hand. I'm gonna have to say goodbye to my girl. And hope she doesn't find another man.
And mama, mama, while I'm away. Please write every day. No, no, no, no, no. In the army now.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, baby. So long, friend. Goodbye, baby. No time to cry. I need you. Yes, I need you.
Come on, boy. We're gonna make a band of you. This is one train you're not gonna miss. Come on, boy. What do you mean you've never heard of KP?
I don't care if it's four o'clock in the morning. There's a right way, a wrong way, and my way. You'll do it my way. All right, boy. Come on.
Yes, I need you. To lend a helping hand.
