After searching for many days for a YouTube video then for any audio file of this song, I remembered why I'd petered out. It simply isn't out there in a place I can find it, so I'm moving on. Here are the lyrics. If you find an audio or video file of "You're in the Army Now" by Abe Lyman and His Californians, the music for which is used in the opening credits of the above Popeye movie, then please leave a comment for me with the link.
