Military man

When I hear the blast of a bugle
I know I soon will see a military man
When I hear the sound of a drum: Rum-tummy-tum-tum
I know I soon will see a military man
I love a military man
I love a military man
I love a military nurse
My, but it's so grand to see a military man
Every boy should want to be a military man
What a treat to marching feet the roll of a drum
What a treat to marching feet is the Rum-tum...
Rummy-tum-tum-tum
In a crowd he looks so proud, a military man
In his uniform so spic and span
Hearts are filled with joy and they're thrilled with joy
Whenever a march is played
For everybody loves to see
A soldier parade
It's about to start
I hear the Rum-tum-tum, the fife and drum
And here they come
What a pretty sight to see!
Joy is in your heart
You've got to swell with pride as side by side
So dignified
Members of the infantry!
Raise your voices high
And give a rousing cheer
When they appear
They know no fear
They're as brave as can be
Manly spirits based upon
The slogan: "We must carry on!"
Company attention, forward march!
My, but it's so grand to see a military man
Every boy should want to be a military man
What a treat to marching feet the roll of a drum
What a treat to marching feet is the Rum-tum...
Rummy-tum-tum-tum
In a crowd he looks so proud, a military man
In his uniform so spic and span
Hearts are filled with joy and they're thrilled with joy
Whenever a march is played
For everybody loves to see
A soldier parade
