Lyrics:

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 Seat I'd Like To Have It Back Sir If You Please
that 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
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 Good People)
