[Verse] Me and Yates an army buddy omine Were doin three years in Germany at the time We came upon these Frauleins in the bar Yates said, Darf isch zee begleiten?, they said Ya And Darf isch zee begleiten 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 thats my seat Id like to have it back sir if you please That girls a nurse and Ive been awful sick The man looked up at me and said, Moxnix Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife Oh Lord, I didnt 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 theres MPs on the way Thats one more reason I didnt 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 theyd 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 didnt that make me glad On love and marriage I want to say one thing Oh lady, if youre married wear that ring And the army has a new policy if you cant 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 peopleYou might also like
