This was a more light-hearted, humorously sarcastic song which would be dismissed as intolerant today.
"Sarge, I'm only 18, I got a ruptured spleen
And I always carry a purse.
I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat,
And my asthma's getting worse.
Oh, think of my career, and my sweetheart dear
And my poor old invalid aunt
Besides I ain't no fool, I'm a-goin' to school,
and I'm workin' in a defense plant. "
