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
