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
