GI Jive - Louis Jordan
Loading...
Uploaded by Harts1413Productions on Dec 15, 2010
In 1944 Louis Jordan made it to number one on both the Harlem Hit Parade and the pop chart.
P-F-C to the C-P-L to the S-G-T to the L-T
C-P the O-D the M-P makes ya do K-P
It's the G. I. Jive
Man alive
It starts with the bugler blowin' reveille over your bed when you arrive
Hey Jack, that's the G. I. Jive
Roodley-toot
Jump in your suit
Make a salute
Arivoot!!
After you wash and dress
More or less
You go get your breakfast from a beautiful little cafe they call "The Mess"
Hey Jack, when you convalesce
Out of your seat
Into the street
Make which ya feet
Alreet!!
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
It's just the G. I. Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
Hey Jack, after you revive
Chunk all your junk
Back in your trunk
Fall on your bunk
Clunk!!
It's just the G. I. Jive
Man alive
They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
Hey Jack, after you revive
Chunk all your junk
Back in your 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 morning you'll have to do the GI Jive

Do you have any G I Jive or Mail Call or Command Performance shows with "The Smart Set" vocal group? They were really great. I have one "short" film sith them performing along with Connie Haines...
