The General Jumped At Dawn

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
