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
