The U.S. Army is not a toy.
No, old boy, not a toy
To jeopardize and put at risk,
And when asked about armor, reply, "Tsk, tsk;
We employed what we had to deploy, killjoy."
No, the U.S, Army is not,
Definitely not a toy.

The U.S. Army is not to be
Used experimentally.
And that is obviously what you did.
So who do you think that you're able to kid
As we witness you killing our boys?
No, the U.S, Army is not,
Definitely not a toy.

It's a highly specialized fighting machine
When used in the role it's designed for;
And in the numbers required to succeed
And retained for the times that troops signed for.

No, the U.S, Army is not a toy,
Not an old boy's Tinkertoy,
To tinker with trying to tame on the cheap.
If a family dog, you'd have been put to sleep.
No, the U.S, Army is not,
Definitely not your toy.
