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