He's 1-A in the Army and He's A-1 in My Heart
Performed by Betty Bonney & Les Brown

From coast to coast in this great nation
Each man has got a classification.
I've got a guy who's really something
This man of mine, he ain't missin' nothin'.
No wonder I'm happy to say:
Chorus
He's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart,
He's gone to help the country that helped him to get a start.
I love him so because I know he wants to do his part,
For he's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart.
And just in case you're quizzical,
I'm gonna tell you now,
He passed the toughest physical--
He passed it, folks, and how!
For I know why he rates so high on Uncle Sammy's chart,
'Cause he's 1-A in the army and he's A-1 in my heart.
From coast to coast in this great nation,
Each man has got a classification.
Now I've got a guy who never liked to fight,
But for Uncle Sam he'll fight all right.
