The PFC, the Cpl, the Sgt, the Lt
The CP, the OD, the MP
This is the G.I. Jive
Man alive
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive
Yeah 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 café they call "The Mess"
Hey 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!!

If you're a P-F-C and you fail to salute the 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
