What An Army Of Men We'd Have 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 21 Feb 2003

"We're not prepared"
was all we heard a year ago or so,
but you don't feel that way today
and that of course I know,
so when you consider then,
that we've raised two million men,
tell me did you ever stop to think:

What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls,
there'd be no worklaws in sight,
each old man would insist that he'd fight,
they'd all flock and enlist as one,
no recruiting would need be done,
why they'd be swimming out
to get to that war game,
you'd have to shoot him dead
to keep a man at home,
what an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls.

What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls,
each time they'd make an attack,
they would bring a whole regiment back,
all the foe then would just retreat,
Girls would never stand for defeat,
the man was never born
could make a girl say "quit"
the enemy would waste their time
now you'll admit,
What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls.

The grit our Yankee girls possess
would whip the enemy,
offensives would become a joke
that plainly you could see,
all the headlines would read then:
"Surrender of a million men,"
now picture in your mind and try to think:

What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls,
there'd be no worklaws in sight,
each old man would insist that he'd fight,
they'd all flock and enlist as one,
no recruiting would need be done,
why they'd be swimming out
to get to that war game,
you'd have to shoot him dead
to keep a man at home,
what an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls.

What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls,
each time they'd make an attack,
they would bring a whole regiment back,
all the foe then would just retreat,
Girls would never stand for defeat,
the man was never born
could make a girl say "quit"
the enemy would waste their time
now you'll admit,
What an Army of men we'd have,
if they ever drafted the girls.
