Tom: Am
Dm C
This is the G. I. Jive,
C
Man alive
C G F
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive
C
Jack, that's the G. I. Jive
C G
Roodley-toot
F
Jump in your suit
C
Make a salute
Boot
[Verse 2]
C
After you wash and dress
C
More or less
C F
You go get your breakfast in a beautiful little caf? they call "The Mess"
C
Jack, when you convalesce
G
Outta your seat
F
Into the street
C
Make with the feet
Reet
[Chorus]
F
If you're a P-V-T, your duty
F
Is to salute to L-I-E-U-T
F
But if you brush the L-I-E-U-T
G
The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
[Verse 3]
C
This is the G. I. Jive
C
Man alive
C F
They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
F
Jack, after you revive
G
Chuck all your junk
F
Back in the trunk
C
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
[Verse 4]
C
This is the G. I. Jive
C
Man alive
C F
They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
C
Jack, if you still survive
G
Chuck all your junk
F
Back in the trunk
C
Fall on your bunk
Clunk
[Verse 5]
C
Soon you're countin' jeeps
E
But before you count to five
F G C
Seems you're right back diggin' that G. I. Jive
