Gonna Raise a Ruckus Tonight

Army life, it just won't do
(Raise a rukus tonight)
The food is poor and the pay is too
(Raise a rukus tonight)

Them army doctors got no heart
(Raise a rukus tonight)
They use a big square needle
And it sure does smart
(Raise a rukus tonight)

So, won't you come along
Little children, come along
Come while the moon is shining bright
Get on board, down the river float
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight

There's an army saying
They think is cute
(Raise a rukus tonight)
If it don't move, paint it
If it does, salute
(Raise a rukus tonight)

We had chicken for chow today
(Raise a rukus tonight)
Mine got up and it walked away
(Raise a rukus tonight)

So, won't you come along
Little children, come along
Come while the moon is shining bright
Get on board, down the river float
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight

Well, I got a gal in San Antone
(Raise a rukus tonight)
She call me on the telephone
(Raise a rukus tonight)

Well, I said now, honey
Do you love me true
(Raise a rukus tonight)
She said, you bet your boots, I do
(Raise a rukus tonight)

So, won't you come along
Little children, come along
Come while the moon is shining bright
Get on board, down the river float
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight

Gonna see my baby
When the weekend comes
(Raise a rukus tonight)
We ain't got money
But we sure have fun
(Raise a rukus tonight)

Yes siree, gonna see my honey
(Raise a rukus tonight)
Well, the things we like
Don't cost much money

So, won't you come along
Little children, come along
Come while the moon is shining bright
Get on board, down the river float
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight
