Get up Jimmy Newman the morning is come

The engine's are rumbling the coffee's all brewed

The tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone

F			   B
Why do you lie there still sleeping

    E				A
The night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here

	E			B
And she tells us such beautiful lies

    E			   A	      E
Her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear

	   F		     E
And you've only to open your eyes

			   A	       E
Get up Jimmy Newman you're missing the fun

				 F	    E
We're loading the plane Jim it's time to go home

	   F
And you've only to open your eyes
