Artist/Band: Rosemary Clooney
Lyrics for Song: G.I. Jive
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Rosemary Clooney



This is the G.I. Jive


Man alive


It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille


Over your bed when you arrive


Jack, that's the G. I. Jive


Roodley-toot


Jump in your suit


Make a salute


Boot!





After you wash and dress


More or less


You go get your breakfast


In a beautiful little cafe 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 G.I. Jive


Man alive


They give you a private tank


That features a little device called fluid drive


Jack, after you revive


Chuck 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


G.I. Jive


G.I. Jive
