가사

As far as what you'll have to do, we keep it very simple in the army
You take orders from those above you, you give orders to those below
(Sung)
The private has a corporal
And the corporal has a sarge
And so it goes on up the chain
From captain on through colonel
To the general in charge
Each man is lord of his domain
And every last enlisted man stands at salute
For the lowliest of officers and that's a Lieut
(Lieutenant Joseph W. Rizzеr
American
Expeditionary Forces Signal Corps)
And that's yours truly
That's your duly appointed
Newly anointed
Lеader of
The Bell Battalion Telephonic
Ladies' Switchboard Unit Number One
(Spoken)
There'll be thirty-three women: twenty-eight operators
Reporting to four supervisors reporting to one chief. That's you
(Sung)
The captain has his company
The corporal has his squad
And each man knows just where he stands
The colonel rules his regiment
And Pershing is our god
So we all hop to his commands
And when the general's on the phone
And finds it slow to call
And when he doesn't give a fig for army protocol
And wants to let some women in
To throw it all in disarray
I say okay
And I obey
I go and find the men some females right away
'Cause orders aren't suggestions
No matter how misguided
A soldier never questions
What his higher-ups decided must be done
Even when it's setting up and heading up
A ladies' switchboard unit number one
Sure, they tell me this is something I'll adapt to
Treat the ladies like the boys
How's a fella s'posed to snarl and holler "Snap to!"
At the type that he was taught to tip his cap to?
How can someone be direct in all his dealings
Lordin' it over subordinates like these?
God forbid that I offend their tender feelings
And what if that young underling I roared for
Is the kind that I'm inclined to hold the door for?
It's a quandary, a conundrum
It's like marching to the beat of more than one drum
But that's fine
I toe the line
I know that everyone's got marching orders
Lord knows I've got mine
And mine is not to reason why
Mine is but to do and die
Whenever I run into friends from the academy
Who wanna know what outfit do I run
It's the Bell Battalion Telephonic
I don't wanna bore you with the title
The Bell Battalion Telephonic
Pershing considers it vital!
It's the Bell Battalion Telephonic
La— wait
Ladies' Switchboard Unit Number One
(Spoken)
Company, halt!
