ZANNA: Back in the times of Ancient Greece
The Spartans lived a dream '
Thousands of manly soldiers,
Just as far as the eye could see.
No one could destroy them,
Because they all lived as one.
(--Manly soldiers, sweating manly in the sun--).
They would destroy all the enemy,
And when the day was done,
They would gather in their tent for love '
ENSEMBLE: Love...love...love...love...love...
That's how they won!
ALL: Join the Army,
Join the Air Force,
Join the Coast Guard,
Join the Marines.
Work together.
Sweat together.
Shower together.
That's how it should be.
ZANNA: Alexander the Great,
You can be sure he wasn't straight '
He was a man.
BUCK: That's right, got no business with a wife!
ZANNA: Leonardo da Vinci,
He made such wicked killing machines,
'cause he was a man.
LADIES: Way to go, Leonardo!
ZANNA: Frederick the Great,
You know he made the Prussian State
Out of nothing.
How'd he do it'
ALL: By being a man.
ZANNA: Mishima,
ALL: and Lawrence of Arabia '
ZANNA: Will we ever see such men again'
ALL: Yes, sir!
ALL: Join the army, etc.
ZANNA: Be a man, etc.
ZANNA: Drop and give me ten, soldier. You're looking weak, soldier. Have you been sleeping with women'
Steve: No, sir!
ZANNA: I bet your daddy slept with women. That make you mad, soldier'
Well, it sure makes me mad that they're gonna let them heteros into this man's army. Present arms.
ZANNA: I don't know what you've been told.
ENSEMBLE: I don't know what you've been told.
ZANNA: Can't win a war with heteros.
ENSEMBLE: Can't win a war with heteros.
ZANNA: Heyyy.
ALL: Heyyy.
ZANNA: Ho.
ALL: Ho.
ZANNA: Hey.
ALL: Hey.
ZANNA: Ho.
ALL: Ho.
ZANNA: Ho-o-o... Somebody say Ho.
ALL: Ho.
ZANNA: Somebody say Mo.
ALL: Mo.
ZANNA: Somebody say Ho.

ZANNA: Mo.
ALL: Mo.
ZANNA: HO-MO.
ENSEMBLE: Join the army, etc.
ZANNA: Be a man, etc.
