G.I. Jive
Louis Jordan

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 caf? 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


This is the G. I. Jive

Man alive

They give you a private tank that features a little device called fluid drive

Jack, if you still survive


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
