G.I. Blues

Performed by Floyd Tillman
Recorded April 20, 1944
Written by Floyd Tillman

G.I. Blues, Gee, I knew
G.I. shorts and G.I. Shoes
Sit around, getting fat,
How we goin' to win a war like that?
G.I. gal, G.I. pal
A thousand guys and a dozen gals
Most of them too darn fat
How we gonna win a war like that?
What I'd give for a pass
To get next to a pretty lass
What I'd give to be free
When I get back how good I'd be
Restriction, sweat it out
Sit around and drop and shout
That [?] mean I can't move
Just because I've got G.I. Blues
