[1st verse:] Johnny Jones was a first class private In the army last year Now he's back to bus'ness in his father's place Sunday night I saw him with a smiling face When I asked why he felt so happy Johnny chuckled with glee He winked his eye and made this reply: "Something wonderful has happened to me" [chorus:] I've got the guy who used to be my Captain working for me He wanted work so I made him a clerk in my father's factory And bye and bye I'm gonna have him wrapped in work up to his brow I make him open the office ev'ry morning at eight I come around about four hours late Ev'rything comes to those who wait I've got my Captain working for me now [2nd verse:] He's not worth what I have to pay him But I'll never complain I've agreed to give him fifty dollars per It's worth twice as much to hear him call me "Sir"
