Lyric G.I. Blues

(words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy Bennett)

They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time

I ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don t go stateside soon
I m gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I d blow my next month s pay
for a slice of Texas cow

We d like to be heroes,
but all that we do here is march
We d like to be heroes,
but all that we do here is march
And they don t give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch

I ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don t go stateside soon
I m gonna blow my fuse

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can t make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can t make a pass
Cause they re all wearin signs saying:
"Keepen sie off the grass"

I ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don t go stateside soon
I m gonna blow my fuse
