This Is Rummy's Army, Mrs. Jones *
Sung to the Irving Berlin tune
"This Is The Army, Mr. Jones"

This is Rummy's army, Mrs. Jones,
Stripped down to skeletons and bones.
You saw your husband not too long before
They shipped him off to even Bush's score.

This is Rummy's army, Mrs. Smith,
When will he be home? Bush takes The Fifth.
Your kids saw their daddy when he left for war,
But who will be their daddy when it's o'er?

Who put such dummys in command?
There's so much about war they don't understand.

This is Rummy's army, Mrs. Brown,
Waiting for tax cuts to trickle-down.
Pray that armor plating reaches him before
All that's left of Brown is blood and gore.

This is Rummy's army, Mrs. Green.
When they signed him up you were sixteen.
He's been gone so long it won't be long before
You'll be a childless wife of thirty-four.
