Frankfort Special (From "G.I. Blues") - Takes 4, 5
Is this train the Frankfort Special (yo-yo-yoyo)
Now ain't this outfit something special (yo-yo-yoyo)
Well, we heard rumors from the bases (yo-yo-yoyo)
Frankfort girls got pretty faces (yo-yo-yoyo)
Go, Special go, Blow whistle, blow
Hold it, hold it (Frankfort Special's got a special way to go)
Is this train the Frankfort Special (yo-yo-yoyo)
Now ain't this outfit something special (yo-yo-yoyo)
Well, we heard rumors from the bases (yo-yo-yoyo)
Frankfort girls got pretty faces (yo-yo-yoyo)
Go, Special go
Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whao - oh - oh
Whao - oh - oh
Now when we get to our headquarters (yo-yo-yoyo)
We'll be good boys and follow orders (yo-yo-yoyo)
Now don't take girls from one another (yo-yo-yoyo)
No! No! No! No! No!
We'll treat a sailor like a brother (yo-yo-yoyo)
Go, Special go
Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whao - oh - oh
Whao - oh - oh
Round wheels singin' on a long flat track (flat track, flat track)
Boiler bustin' to blow its stack (flat track, flat track)
Towns and villages flyin' by (flyin' by, flyin' by)
Farewell frauleins, don't you cry
You'll soon get another G.I.
Come on, train, and get the lead out (yo-yo-yoyo)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out (yo-yo-yoyo)
Frantic frauleins at the station (yo-yo-yoyo)
They're ready for a celebration (yo-yo-yoyo)
Go, Special go
Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whao - oh - oh
Go, Special go
Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
Whao - oh - oh
Whao - oh - oh
Come on, train, and get the lead out (yo-yo-yoyo)
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out (yo-yo-yoyo)
Frantic frauleins at the station (yo-yo-yoyo)
They're ready for a celebration (yo-yo-yoyo)
Go, Special go
Blow whistle, blow
Frankfort Special's got a special way to go
