they say the clothes maketh the man   soldier why you wear your pants   so tight ,your boots so `long   a shiny badge to make you strong      chorus:   soldier git ready for a fight   in your jacket black as night   in your boots so big and tall   mister git ready for a fall      officer put me all at ease   a holster's where you keep your piece   hold it in your lawful hand   and then you tell me your the man      (chorus)      officer hold me close and tight   on a cold december night   doing me wrong that feels so right   beneath a cold electric light      please let me take another bite   just one kick and say goodnight   your boots so long your legs so strong   singing your football victory song      "ha ha ha ha....."
