GUEST,Phil d'Conch	Origins: Gee But I Wanna Go Home (70* d)	RE: Origins: Gee But I Wanna Go Home	16 Feb 23
The play had five verses: “ACT ONE Scene II (The Soldiers) The biscuits in the army they say are mighty fine. One rolled off the table and killed a pal of mine. Oh, I don't want no more of Army life, Gee, Mom, I want to go home! The chicken in the Army they say is mighty fine. One jumped off the table and started marching time. Oh, I don't want no more of Army life, Gee, Mom, I want to go home! Payday in the Army they say is mighty fine. They give you fifty dollars and fine you forty-nine. Oh, I don't want no more of Army life, Gee, Mom, I want to go home! Furloughs in the Army they say are mighty fine. They put it down on paper, but where the hell is mine? Oh, I don't want no more of Army life, Gee, Mom, I want to go home! The coffee in the Army they say is mighty fine. It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine. Oh, I don't want no more of Army life, Gee, Mom, I want to go home!” [Winged Victory, The Army Air Forces Play, Hart, 1943]
