MAMA’S BOY
You say he Can't stand the Army
The life is too rough, how sad!
You think that he is bet.or
Than some other mother's lad:
You brought him up like a baby
He doesn't dtink or smoke
you ’brag,
If all others were like him
Well, what would become oi'
our flag?
\ou say let the roughnecks tie
the fighting.
They are made to eat beans
and stew
i!ut I’m glad I am classed with
the roughnecks
Who fight for the Red, White
and Blue.
t'ou say that his girl friends
couldn’t bear to send
Her sweetheart away with tin
the rest,
Do you think she will be proud
When she feels the .Japs breath
on her breast?
You can thank God that the
stars and Old Glory
Are not blurred with any such
stains
Because there are ten million
more roughnecks
That carry red blood in their
They go drill in bad weather
And come in with a smile onj
their face
While your, darling sits in the
And lets a man fight in his
place.
You’re right, we smoke, drink,
and gamble
But we fight as our forefathers
did.
So go warm the milk for his
bottle
Thank God that we don’t need
your kid.
