The Military (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
I'm General Genghis Kahn Schmitz
I scare children out of their wits
But you'll see at a glance, sir
My school is the answer
For shirkers and dreamers and twits
And in this case, I'd say the shoe fits
Ten hut, feet together, chin up
Eyes on the prize, Parade harch
The military academy
Is the place where he should be sent
We'll drill the silliness from his head
I'm sure we'll make a dent
We'll teach him fighting
And left and righting
Until he's muscled and tan
A-hut-two-three, he's pathetic
A-hut-two-three, unathletic
A-hut-two-three nut I'm betting we can
The military that's what makes a boy a man
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
The military's extraordinarily
Good for somebody meek
He'll bunk with bullies who beat him up
At least three times a week
He'll sweat and shiver and eat raw liver
It's all a part of the plan
A-hut-two-three, when they suffer
A-hut-two-three, boys get tougher
A-hut-two-three and it's time he began
The military
That's what makes a boy
That's what makes a boy a man
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz
Our boys believe
In the right of every who
To eat their bread
Butter side up
Butter side up
One thing we trust
On this fragile speck of dust
Is eating bread
Butter side up
Butter side up?
And as for those who like their butter down
Down, down, down
We'll nucleate 'em, we'll spiff-licate 'em
We'll go to war and run them out of town
A-hut-two-three, we enlist 'em
A-hut-two-three, in our system
And boys soon see
Nothing's easier than
The military
That's what makes a boy
That's what makes a boy
That's what makes a boy
That's what makes a boy a man
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
I do not like green eggs and ham
Do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am
Do not like them, Sam-I-am
Sound off
Eggs and ham
Sound off
Sam I am
I do not like green eggs and ham
I scare children out of their wits
But you'll see at a glance, sir
