Greetings
This is Uncle Sam
I want to take you

To a far off land

I need you

Oh, I need you
Yes, I need you
To lend a helping hand


Said goodbye
To all my buddies

Say hello
To your new friends
'Cause you're in the army now

And 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 me now
With a rifle in my hand

I'm gonna have to say
Goodbye to my girl
And I hope she doesn't

Find another man
And baby, baby
While I'm away

Please, please write everyday

Oh no, no

Please don't take me, Uncle Sam
You're in the army now


Goodbye, baby
So long, friends
Goodbye, baby

I hope to see you again

I need you

(Come on, boy)
Oh, I need you
(We're gonna make a man out of you)

Yes, I need you
To lend a helping hand
(This one training

You're not gonna miss)

Come on, boy

Whatta mean you've never heard of KP
I don't care if it's 4 in the morning
There is a right way

A wrong way
And there's my way
You'll do it my way


Come on, boy
On the double

Get in step, boy
Come on, now
March, march


Your mama's a long ways off, boy
So stop your crying

March
Get in step, boy
Left, right

Left, right
I said get in step, boy
Left
