I got the hup, two, three, four, occupation GI blues.

        A7                             E
From my GI hair to the heels of my GI shoes,

         B7                   A                       E
and if I don't go state-side soon, I'm gonna blow my fuse.

I'd blow my next month’s pay for a slice of Texas cow.

      E                                             E7
We'd like to be heroes but all that we do here is march.

The Frauleins are pretty as flowers but we can’t make a pass.
