Dear Mom, the weather today was cloudy and damp
Your package arrived but was missing a stamp
Your cake made a hit with all the boys in the camp
How they love it, Dear Mom...

The food is okay, don't worry your head
I sleep pretty well but I miss my old bed
And oh! how I wish they'd make this Army co-ed
Still I love it

If you should run into
A certain you-know-who
Please do this for me
Give her a kiss for me
Tell her to write me
Nightly...

Dear Mom, that's all for tonight, the bugle just blew
Tomorrow's a big day with plenty to do
I like it here but I'm kind of homesick for you
For I love you, Dear Mom...!
(repeat once)
