“G.I. Josefine”
I serve my country well
In slingbacks and beret
I march on your hypocrisy
Cause I am feeling queer today
As bright as all your medals
And shiny epaulettes
But I can’t go to war right now
Cause my hair is a mess
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
The dykes are on the starboard
There polishing the guns
There battening the hatches
As tough as any mothers son
Ain’t no pro-creation
No baby cribs at sea
No friggin’ in the riggin’
You can leave the boys for me
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
Come on
come out
And it’s one two three
I don’t live by the book
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn
I don’t wanna be a man
And it’s five six seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain’t no time to wonder why
Anyone can die
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
In slingbacks and beret
I march on your hypocrisy
Cause I am feeling queer today
As bright as all your medals
And shiny epaulettes
But I can’t go to war right now
Cause my hair is a mess
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
The dykes are on the starboard
There polishing the guns
There battening the hatches
As tough as any mothers son
Ain’t no pro-creation
No baby cribs at sea
No friggin’ in the riggin’
You can leave the boys for me
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
Come on
come out
And it’s one two three
I don’t live by the book
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn
I don’t wanna be a man
And it’s five six seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain’t no time to wonder why
Anyone can die
Ah don’t ask don’t tell
Dominate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
