(Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht/Marc Blitzstein)  Performed by Stan Ridgway and the Fowler Brothers  John was all present and Jim was all there  And Georgie was up for promotion  Not that the Army gave a bugger who they were  When confronting some heathen commotion  CHORUS  The troops live under the cannon's thunder  FromSind to Cooch Behar  Moving from place to place  When they come face to face  With a different breed of fellow  Whose skin is black or yellow  they quick as winking chop them into beefsteak tartar  Johnny found his whiskey too warm  And Jimmy found the weather too balmy  But Georgie took them both by the arm and said,  "Don't ever disappoint the Army!"  CHORUS  John is a write-off and Jimmy is dead  And Georgie was shot for looting  And young men's blood goes on being red  While the Army just goes on ahead recruiting  CHORUS  -------------------------------------------------------------
