Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is come

Get up Jimmy Newman there's work to be done
FF Piano Chord 
			       BB Piano Chord 

And why do you lie there still sleeping
EE Piano Chord 
 			  AA Piano Chord 

There's a waiting line forming to use the latrine
EE Piano Chord 
			BB Piano Chord 

And the sun is just opening the sky
EE Piano Chord 
				   AA Piano Chord

The breakfast they're serving just has to be seen

Get up Jimmy Newman my radio's on

		EE Piano Chord 

The news is all bad but it's good for a laugh
AA Piano Chord 
	   EE Piano Chord 

The tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone
FF Piano Chord 
			   BB Piano Chord 

Why do you lie there still sleeping
EE Piano Chord 
				AA Piano Chord 

The night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here
EE Piano Chord 
			BB Piano Chord 

And she tells us such beautiful lies
EE Piano Chord 
			   AA Piano Chord 
	      EE Piano Chord 

Her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear
FF Piano Chord 
		     EE Piano Chord 

And you've only to open your eyes
AA Piano Chord 
	       EE Piano Chord 

Get up Jimmy Newman you're missing the fun
FF Piano Chord 
	    EE Piano Chord 

We're loading the plane Jim it's time to go home
AA Piano Chord 
	       EE Piano Chord 

It's over for us there's no more to be done
FF Piano Chord 
			       BB Piano Chord 

And why do you lie there still sleeping
EE Piano Chord 
			      AA Piano Chord 

It's stateside for us Jim the folks may not know

			  BB Piano Chord 

We'll let it be such a surprise

			  AA Piano Chord 
	   EE Piano Chord

		     EE Piano Chord 

And you've only to open your eyes

	       EE Piano Chord 

Get up Jimmy Newman they won't take my word

		EE Piano Chord 

I said you sleep hard but they're shaking their heads
AA Piano Chord 
	      EE Piano Chord 

Get up Jimmy Newman and show them you heard

			    BB Piano Chord 

Jimmy just show them you're sleeping
EE Piano Chord 
			     AA Piano Chord 

A joke is a joke but there's nothing to gain
EE Piano Chord 
			     BB Piano Chord 

Jim I'd slap you but I'm too weak to rise
EE Piano Chord 
			    AA Piano Chord 
		EE Piano Chord 

Get up damn it Jimmy you're missing the plane
FF Piano Chord 

And you've only to open your eyes
