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 his shoulder
And I ready for whatever comes my way
So feed me ammunition
Keep me in my old division
Your dogface soldier boy's okay
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 his shoulder
And I ready for whatever comes my way
I wouldn't trade my heart for anything ya' got
For I'm a dogface soldier U.S.A
