[Verse 1]
Dm C
This is the G. I. Jive,

Man alive
C G F
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive

Jack, that's the G. I. Jive

Jump in your suit

After you wash and dress

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

Back in the trunk
C
Fall on your bunk
Clunk

Soon you're countin' jeeps

But before you count to five
