G.I. Jive Songtext
von 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 café they call "the mess"
Jack, when you convalesce outta your seat, into the street
Make with the feet
Oh, 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!

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, 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
