      E
They give us a room
With a view of the beautiful Rhine
      A
They give us a room
                               E
With a view of the beautiful Rhine
           B7
Give me a muddy old creek
    A             E
In Texas any old time

Chorus:
           E
I've got those hup, two, three, four
Occupation g.I. Blues
        A                                   E
From my g.I. hair to the heels of my g.I. shoes
          B7                 A
And if I don't go stateside soon
                   E
I'm gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
And black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
For a slice of Texas cow

We'd like to be heroes
But all we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes
But all we do here is march
And they don't give the Purple Heart
For a fallen arch

Chorus

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearing signs saying:
"Keepen sie off the grass"
