Jimmy Newman

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 Transcribed 2nd March 1996 by David Linley dal23@hermes.cam.ac.uk
