FIRST CLASS PRIVATE MARY BROWN
Words and Music by Frank Loesser, ©1944.
As sung by Perry Como

First Class Private Mary Brown,
She wore that uniform like a million-dollar gown.
How my heart would leap when she drove the jeep
With the one big stripe on her arm,
And it seemed to me that a PFC
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
To First Class Private Mary Brown, my wonderful WAC.

First Class Private, Mary Brown,
I've got her army serial number written down.
She was all GI, but when she marched by,
I just had to look at her twice,
And it struck me then that the ASN
Meant an "angel, specially nice."

First Class Private, Mary Brown,
Could make the PX 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
On the double to First Class Private Mary Brown, my wonderful WAC.

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.
