THE ARMY AIR CORPS
Off we go, into the wi Id bl tie
yonder,
Climbing high into the sun.
He^e they conte, zooming to meet
our thunder,
At fem, boys, give rer the gun.
Down we dive, spouting our flame
from under,
Off with one helluva roar.
We live in fame or go down in
flame - HEY
Nothing111 stop the Array Air Corps 1

Just like the girl
Who married dear Old Dad.
Sfie was a pearl,
And the only girl
That Daddy 3ver had.

One who loves nobody else butyou.
I want a girl
Just like the girl
Who married dear old Dad.

small
Old Notre Dame will win over all*
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory

Ready to rise and shine,

The T. T. C. puts the T. N. T.
In the planes of the U« S. A.
They fill the wings
With the little things
That go b-r-r-r-r~r-r-r-r.

When there's a j o.b to do?
Who lends a helping hand?
The Technical Training Command.

I've got sixpence,
Jolly, jolly sixpence*
I've got sixpence
To last roe all my life.
I've got tuppence to spend
And tuppence to lend,
And tuppence to send home to my
wife - POOR WIFEi
No cares have I to grieve me,
No pretty little girls to deceive
me.
I'm happy as a king, believe me,
As we go rolling, rolling home.
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moon -
HAPPI is the day
When the airman gets his pay,
As we go rolling, rolling home.

FOR ME AND m GAL
The bells are ringing
For me and my gal.
The birds are singing
For me and my gal.
Everybody's been knowing
To a wedding they're gclng,
And for weeks they've been sewing -
Every Susy and Sal.
They're congregating
For me and my gal.
The Parson's waiting
For me and my gal.
And some day -
We're going to build a little home
for two
Or three or four - or more -
In Loveland,
For me and my gal.

THIS IS THE ARMY, MR. JONES
This is the Army, Mr. Jones, -
No private rooms or telephones.
You had your breakfast in bed before,
But you won't have it there any moreJ
This is the Army, Mr. Green.
We like the b arracks nice andclean.
You had a housemaid to clean your
floor,
But she won't help you out any more.
Do what the buglers command.
They're in the Army - and not in a
band.
This is the Army, Mr. Brown.
You and your baby went to town.
She had you worried, but this is
war,

Sleepy time gal.

Over hill, over dale5
We ha^e hit the dusty trail
And those caissons go rolling along,
"Counter march; Right about'."
Hear those wagon soldiers shout
As those caissons go rolling along.
For its HI.' HI.' HEEJ in the Field
Ar tillery.
Call off your numbers loud and
strong.
And where e'er we go.
You will always know
That those caissons are roiling
along -
That those caissons are roiling
alongJ-
