作词 : Hall | |
Me and Yates an army buddy o'mine | |
Were doin' three years in | |
Germany at the time | |
We came upon these | |
Frauleins in the bar | |
Yates said, "Darf isch zee be-gleit-en?", they said "Ya" | |
And 'Darf isch zee be-gleit-en means?', ' | |
Can we sit with you all?' | |
Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of | |
German beer | |
My conscience and my sinuses were clear | |
I asked that | |
Fraulein if she was a spy | |
She said, "Nein but do bis ain bissel high" | |
A condition not uncommon to the | |
American soldier | |
Well, later on | |
I went to be excused | |
When I returned | |
I was a bit confused | |
Yates and his | |
Fraulein had hit the air | |
Another guy was sittin' in my chair | |
A young soldier whom we shall get to know better | |
I said, "Excuse me mister that's my seatI'd like to have it back sir if you pleaseThat girl's a nurse and I've been awful sick" | |
The man looked up at me and said, "Mox-nix" | |
Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health | |
Next thing | |
I knew he had a switchblade knife | |
Oh Lord, I didn't know that | |
Fraulein was his wife | |
I took off through that | |
Gasthaus like a fool | |
Behind me | |
I heard the crashing stools | |
As the police would say, he was in hot pursuit | |
Well, the waitress yelled there's | |
MPs on the way | |
That's one more reason | |
I didn't want to stay | |
As I went out the window somethin' went switch | |
And I giggled all the way home knowin' he missed | |
At the time it seemed like a laughing matter | |
But next morning my coat was lyin' there on the bunk | |
And when I saw that coat it made me jump | |
That man had cut my coat right down the back | |
A little bit more and they'd been playin' me taps | |
And knowin' the sad nature of that song | |
I would decline it | |
Well, later on | |
I heard that guy got stabbed | |
They sent him home and didn't that make me glad | |
On love and marriage | |
I want to say one thing | |
Oh lady, if you're married wear that ring | |
And the army has a new policy if you can't move it, paint it | |
If it has a switchblade knife, salute it | |
Not necessarily an incident one would want to write mother about | |
Germany being full of good soldiers and good people |
