Вступление
[Verse 1]
CFCG7
I got my call to go to war,I went to be enlisted.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General looked me o'er and loudly he insisted,
CFCG7
You cannot wear the uniform, your lungs are much affected.
CFG7C
It's plain to see your eyes are crossed and otherwise defected.
[Chorus]
CFCG7
So now I'm with the invalids, I cannot go and fight, Sir.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General told me so. Of course it must be right, Sir.
[Verse 2]
CFCG7
He said "you've got an itchy scalp, your hair is getting thinner.
CFG7C
And tell me Sir with teeth like that, how do you eat your dinner?
CFCG7
It seems to me your over weight, your pressure is a-larming."
CFG7C
I said with much a-lacrity "The ladies find me charming."
[Chorus]
CFCG7
So now I'm with the invalids, I cannot go and fight, Sir.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General told me so. Of course it must be right, Sir.
[Verse 3]
CFCG7
And then he took his stethoscope and listened quite in-tently.
CFG7C
A look of pity filled his eyesand whispered to me gently;
CFCG7
"Your feet are flat, your back is bent, the sight of you dis-pleases.
CFG7C
And by the symptoms, I would say, you've several rare dis-eases."
[Chorus]
CFCG7
So now I'm with the invalids, I cannot go and fight, Sir.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General told me so. Of course it must be right, Sir.
[Verse 4]
CFCG7
I would have liked to go to war, but Sir, I was pre-vended
CFG7C
In stead I have to stay at home and keep the girls con-tented.
CFCG7
Be-cause of my con-dition, Sir, war would be a bother.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General ought to know, be-cause he is my father.
[Chorus]
CFCG7
So now I'm with the invalids, I cannot go and fight, Sir.
CFG7C
The Surgeon General told me so. Of course it must be right, Sir.
