[Verse:]
To look at me you wouldn't think
That I was once a skinny gink
That doctors thought I would never last
I thought I had so many ills
And I was always taking pills
But that is all a thing of the past

[Refrain:]
The Army's made a man out of me
A man out of me, a man out of me

My mother and my father agree
The Army has made me a man

I used to sleep with brother, but now I sleep alone
I used to be a tenor, but now I'm a baritone

My girl said when she sat on my knee
The Army has made me a man
