I wouldn't give a bean to be a fancy pants Marine;
I'd rather be a dogface soldier like I am.
I wouldn't trade my old ODs for all the Navys dungarees,
For I'm the walking pride of Uncle Sam.
On all the posters that I read
It says the Army builds men,
So they're tearing me down
To build me over again!
I'm just a dogface soldier
With a rifle on my shoulder,
and I'm ready for what every comes my way
So feed me ammunition,
Keep me in my old Division
Your dogface soldier boys okay.
On all the posters that I read
It says the Army builds men,
So theyre tearing me down
To build me over again!
I'm just a dogface soldier
With a rifle on my shoulder,
and I'm ready for what every comes my way
I wouldn't trade my rife for
Anything ya' got for
I'm a dogface soldier USA.
