The General Jumped At Dawn

Golden Gate Quartet

Said the General to the captain
Pops we gonna cause a commotion
Then one early morning he up and gone
The general jumped, he jumped at dawn

Said the captain to the private
Man we gonna flannel the channel
Then one early morning he up and gone
The general jumped, he jumped at dawn

Bye bye (bye bye)
Bye bye (bye bye)
I'll see you in the sky at Versailles
Drop in (drop in) drop in (droppin in)
We'll have a barbecue in Berlin

Said the private to the general
Jack my jeep is ready and steady
Then one early morning he up and gone
The general jumped, he jumped at dawn

The general had a groovy crew
A million lads and I'm tellin you
There were white men, black men
On the beam
A real, solid all American team

He had tall men, small men, fat and lean
The fightingest crew you've ever see
Every creed and colour and every belief
From an Eskimo to an Indian Chief

He had a Sargent Swenson, a Captain Kelly,
A Corporal Rosen and a cook Morrelli,
Lieutenant Jackson and a Private Joe
Then the General said let's hit the road

We'll jump, 2, 3, 4
Remember boys we gotta win the war

Said the private to the Gen-er-al
Jack my jeep stays ready and steady
Then one early morning he up and gone
The general, the general jumped at dawn
