First Class Private Mary Brown

First Class Private Mary Brown

Voice
He carries around a heavy old rifle and a heavy old pack
But doesn’t seem to feel how much they weigh,
‘Cause he carries around this dream all day.
Refrain
1) First class private mary Brown,
She wore that uniform like a million dollar gown.
How my heart would leap, When she drove her jeep with one big stripe on her arm,
And it seemed to me, that a P.F.C. stood for “Perfect Feminine Charm.”
First class private mary Brown,
Oh, how she smiled goodbye when they shipped me out of town.
Let the big guns roar, let me win this war
‘Cause I want to hurry right back On the double to
First class private Mary Brown my wonderful WAC
2)First class private Mary Brown,
I’ve got her army serial number written down.
She was all G.I. But when she marched by,
I just had to look at her twice,
And it struck me then, that the A.S.N. meant an “Angel Special Nice.”
First class private Mary Brown
Could make the P.X. seem like the Ritz in New York town.
Let the big guns roar, let me win this war
‘Cause I want to hurry right back Hubba Hubba to
First class Private Mary Brown my wonderful WAC
