G.I. Jive
This is the GI Jive
Man alive
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed
When you arrive
Jack, that's the GI Jive
Roodley-toot
Jump in your suit
Make a salute
Veut!
After you wash and dress
More or less
You go get your breakfast from a beautiful little café
They call "The Mess"
Jack, when you convalesce
Outta your seat
Into the street
Make with the feet
Reet!
If you're a P-V-T, your duty
Is to salute to L-I-E-U-T
But if you brush the L-I-E-U-T
The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
This is the GI Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device
Called "Fluid drive"
Jack, after you revive
Chunk all your junk
Back in the trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
This is the GI Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device
Called "Fluid drive"
Jack, if you still survive
Chunk all your junk
Back in the trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
Soon you're countin' jeeps
But before you count to five
Seems you're right back diggin' that GI Jive
Man alive
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed
When you arrive
Jack, that's the GI Jive
Roodley-toot
Jump in your suit
Make a salute
Veut!
After you wash and dress
More or less
You go get your breakfast from a beautiful little café
They call "The Mess"
Jack, when you convalesce
Outta your seat
Into the street
Make with the feet
Reet!
If you're a P-V-T, your duty
Is to salute to L-I-E-U-T
But if you brush the L-I-E-U-T
The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
This is the GI Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device
Called "Fluid drive"
Jack, after you revive
Chunk all your junk
Back in the trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
This is the GI Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device
Called "Fluid drive"
Jack, if you still survive
Chunk all your junk
Back in the trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
Soon you're countin' jeeps
But before you count to five
Seems you're right back diggin' that GI Jive
