Oh, the military’s wonderful
The military’s swell
But now it seems the military
Is on the way to Hell
For they’re playing hanky panky in the army

He went to West Point
Flags unfurl!
She went to West Point
What a girl!
But they were playing hanky panky in the army

He said, “My dear,
It’s time to quit”
She said, “Don’t hand me
That kind of shit
When you’re playing hanky panky in the army,

I think you’ve got
Another female
And boy I’ll send her
Some hot email:
Don’t YOU play hanky panky with the army!”

He said, “Oh, God
The FBI
Is onto us
I’d rather die
Though I’ve been playing hanky panky in the army

I must confess,
I’m sorry, toots
Upon my face
I’ve got such schmutz*
For I …
For I…
Was playing hanky panky in the army”
