E5                  A5         E5
Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is come
                        F5               E5
The engine's are rumbling the coffee's all brewed
                      A5             E5
Get up Jimmy Newman there's work to be done
    F5                         B5
And why do you lie there still sleeping
        E5                     A5
There's a waiting line forming to use the latrine
      E5                  B5
And the sun is just opening the sky
    E5                           A5           E5
The breakfast they're serving just has to be seen
         F5                 E5
And you've only to open your eyes
                   A5       E5
Get up Jimmy Newman my radio's on
                       F5            E5
The news is all bad but it's good for a laugh
                         A5         E5
The tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone
F5                     B5
Why do you lie there still sleeping
    E5                        A5
The night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here
      E5                  B5
And she tells us such beautiful lies
    E5                     A5            E5
Her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear
         F5                 E5
And you've only to open your eyes
                     A5             E5
Get up Jimmy Newman you're missing the fun
                         F5          E5
We're loading the plane Jim it's time to go home
                      A5             E5
It's over for us there's no more to be done
    F5                         B5
And why do you lie there still sleeping
     E5                        A5
It's stateside for us Jim the folks may not know
      E5                    B5
We'll let it be such a surprise
      E5                    A5         E5
They're loading us next Jim we're ready to go
         F5                 E5
And you've only to open your eyes
                   A5             E5
Get up Jimmy Newman they won't take my word
                          F5            E5
I said you sleep hard but they're shaking their heads
                  A5            E5
Get up Jimmy Newman and show them you heard
F5                      B5
Jimmy just show them you're sleeping
  E5                       A5
A joke is a joke but there's nothing to gain
      E5                       B5
Jim I'd slap you but I'm too weak to rise
    E5                      A5            E5
Get up damn it Jimmy you're missing the plane
         F5
And you've only to open your eyes
