General Jumped at Dawn

Performed by Wingy Manone
Recorded July 25, 1944
Written by Mundy and Neill

Here comes the general himself
Said the general to the captain, pops
We're gonna cause a commotion
Gentlemen, one early morn
He up and gone
Said the general jumped at jumpin' dawn
Said the captain, to the private, man
We gonna battle the chattle
The early one morn
Why, he up and gone
Said, the general jumped and, solid, got gone
Bye-bye, bye-bye
I'll see you in the land of Asai
Drop in, drop in
We'll have a barbeque in Berlin
Said the private to the general, jack
My jeep is ready, and steady
Then early one morn
He up and gone
Said the general jumped that jumped that gone
Yes, yes, son
Why there goes the old general now
Truckin' on down the aisle
Good ol' general
Oh genny, jumped and gone
Oh genny, jumped and gone
Oh genny, didn't stay long
Bye-bye genny, I know you're gone
Good-bye general
