This Is A Camp That Is A-Mighty Tough Were The Marchin Men Are Made
But I Am A Guy Who Doesn't Dig That Stuff And I'm Idle On Parade
There Is A Man A Sergeant-Major Lush And He Has Got To Be Obeyed Yeah
And In A Voice Just Like A Little Thrush He Says I'm Idle On Parade

Now When They Gave Me A Rifle Well They Went Too Far
I'm Much Better Off When I Got A Guitar
I Told The C.o. That I Wanna Be Sent
He Sent Me To A Place Where I Could Repent

When I Was A-Free I Was A Crazy Pup Rock-A-Boogie Was My Trade
Now Captain Burton-Bassett Says I'm All Shook Up And I'm Idle On Parade
