G.I. Jive

Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;

Used to be her Sunday beau til I rode away.

Do I want her, do I want her love?

Yes siree!



Will I win her, Will I win her love?

Wait and see!

Workin with a rodeo, go from town to town.

See most evry kind a gal, evry kind a gown.



But who made my heart sing

Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!

My little gal in calico.



Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;

Guess Id better let her know that I feel this way.

Is she waitin', is she waitin'

She better be.



Am I hopin' to be ropin' her?

Yes siree!

Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,

Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin' gown.



Then will I fence her in

Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!

My little gal in calico.
