Lyrics for The Army's Not the Army Anymore
The army's not the army anymore
It's better than it's ever been before
The bugler blows and I can't get 'em up
At quarter after 7:00
But if you're tired, stay right there
And sleep until 11:00
Oh, the army's not the army anymore
The army's not the army anymore
It's better than it's ever been before
You used to walk a mile for beans
But now they bring them to ya
And all the generals say hello
As though they really knew ya
Oh, the army's not the army anymore
They've got a lot of hostesses
The gals are really cuties
And entertaining these co'eds
Is part of your regular duties
Oh, the army's not the army anymore
The army's not the army anymore
It's better than it's ever been before
The sergeant isn't tough anymore
He's careful not to bore you
Just tell him when you're peelin' spuds
And he will peel them for you
Oh, the army's not the army anymore
No, the army's not the army anymore
Donald Gets Drafted's closing scene, as Donald was cutting potatoes. This clip was in 1990 television movie, Chips, the War Dog.
Donald's famous voice, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation, was until 1985 performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash.
Donald's appearance in the cartoon, as created by animator Dick Lundy, is similar to his modern look — the colors are the same, as is the blue sailor shirt and hat — but his features are more elongated, his body plumper, and his feet bigger.
Donald is repeatedly attacked, harassed, and ridiculed by his nephews, by the chipmunks Chip 'n Dale, or by other one-shot characters such as Humphrey the Bear, Buzz the Bee, Bootle Beetle, the Aracuan Bird, Louie the Mountain Lion or a colony of ants.
