Directed by Michael Curtiz with songs by Irving Berlin, "White Christmas" tells the story of song-and-dance team Bob Wallace and Phil Davis (Crosby and Kaye), two World War II veterans who team up with sister act Betty and Judy Haynes (Clooney and Vera-Ellen) to raise money for a struggling Vermont inn run by Bob and Phil’s former commanding general. The film earned an Oscar® nomination for the original song "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep," music and lyrics by Berlin.

We'll FOLLOW The Old Man
ReplyDeletenot "stay with"!! That comes later!
We’ll follow the old man wherever he wants to go
As long as he wants to go opposite to the foe
We’ll stay with the old man wherever he wants to stay
As long he stays away from the battle’s fray
Because we love him, we love him
Especially when he keeps us on the ball
And we’ll tell the kiddies we answer duties' call
With the grandest son of a soldier of them all
Attention! Attention!
Gee, I wish I was back in the army
The army wasn’t really bad at all
Three meals a day for which you didn’t pay
Uniforms for winter, spring and fall
There’s a lot to be said for the army
The life without responsibility
A soldier out of luck was never really stuck
There’s always someone higher up where you can pass the buck
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the army
Gee, I wish I was back in the army
The army was the place to find romance
Soldiers and WAC’s the WAC’s who dressed in slacks
Dancing cheek to cheek and pants to pants
There’s a lot to be said for the army
The best of doctors watched you carefully
A dentist and a clerk, for weeks and weeks they’d work
They make a thousand dollar job and give it to a jerk
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the army
Three meals a day for which you didn’t pay
I thought that I was through with all my care and strife
But after months and months of the civilian life
Gee, I wish I was back in the army now!
