Jimmy Newman - Tom Paxton
E A E
Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is come
F E
The engine's are rumbling the coffee's all brewed
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman there's work to be done
F B
And why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
There's a waiting line forming to use the latrine
E B
And the sun is just opening the sky
E A E
The breakfast they're serving just has to be seen
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman my radio's on
F E
The news is all bad but it's good for a laugh
A E
The tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone
F B
Why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
The night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here
E B
And she tells us such beautiful lies
E A E
Her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman you're missing the fun
F E
We're loading the plane Jim it's time to go home
A E
It's over for us there's no more to be done
F B
And why do you lie there still sleeping
E A
It's stateside for us Jim the folks may not know
E B
We'll let it be such a surprise
E A E
They're loading us next Jim we're ready to go
F E
And you've only to open your eyes
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman they won't take my word
F E
I said you sleep hard but they're shaking their heads
A E
Get up Jimmy Newman and show them you heard
F B
Jimmy just show them you're sleeping
E A
A joke is a joke but there's nothing to gain
E B
Jim I'd slap you but I'm too weak to rise
E A E
Get up damn it Jimmy you're missing the plane
F
And you've only to open your eyes
