At a dinner for President Eisenhower, Irving Berlin wrote new lyrics to 'Gee I Wish I Was Back in the Army' protesting Senator Joseph McCarthy's smearing top US Army officials as Communists. The new lyrics went Gee, I wish I was back in the army/ In spite of all the Joe McCarthy noise; I'll help him shout, to kick the commies out, including all the Fifth Amendment boys! But when Joe gets to smearing the army, I think of 1942 and 3/ If on that vital date/ he cried 'Investigate!' The Normandy invasion and the army came too late - Oh, gee! I wish I was back in the army.
