Lyrics

The P-F-C, the C-P-L
The S-G-T, the L-T
C-P, the O-D
The M-P makes you do catvee
It's the G. I. Jive
Man alive
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive
'Ay, Jack, that's the G. I. Jive
Roodley-toot
Jump in your suit
Make a salute
Au re veut
After you wash and dress
More or less
You go get your breakfast from a beautiful little café they call "The Mess"
'Ay, Jack, when you convalesce
Outta your seat
Into the street
Make with your feet
Au 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"
'Ay, Jack, after you revive
Chuck all your junk
Back in your trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
It's just the G. I. Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
'Ay, Jack, after you revive
Chuck all your junk
Back in your trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
If you're a P-F-C and you fail to salute to L-T
The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
Then you'll go to sleep before you count to five
But when you wake up in the mornin' you'll have to do the G. I. Jive
