Get Eup JAimmy ENewman the morning is come
The enginFe's arEe rumbling the coffee's all brewed
Get up AJimmy NewEman there's work to be done
And Fwhy do you Blie there still sleeping
TheEre's a Awaiting line forming to use the latrine
AEnd tBhe sun is just opening the sky
The EbreakfasAt they'Ere serving just has to be seen
And Fyou've oEnly to open your eyes
Get up JiAmmy NewmEan my radio's on
The news Fis Eall bad but it's good for a laugh
The tent fAlap iEs loose and the peg must be gone
FWhy do Byou lie there still sleeping
The Enight Anurse is gone and the sexy one's here
AEnd sBhe tells us such beautiful lies
Her EuniformA's tight Eon her marvellous rear
And Fyou've oEnly to open your eyes
Get up AJimmy NeEwman you're missing the fun
We're FloadiEng the plane Jim it's time to go home
It's ovAer for us Ethere's no more to be done
And Fwhy do you Blie there still sleeping
It's Estateside Afor us Jim the folks may not know
We'll Elet it Bbe such a surprise
TEhey're AloadEing us next Jim we're ready to go
And Fyou've oEnly to open your eyes
Get Aup Jimmy ENewman they won't take my word
I said FyoEu sleep hard but they're shaking their heads
Get Aup JimmEy Newman and show them you heard
FJimmy juBst show them you're sleeping
A Ejoke is a Ajoke but there's nothing to gain
JEim I'd slBap you but I'm too weak to rise
Get Eup damn Ait EJimmy you're missing the plane
And Fyou've only to open your eyes
