BOY GEORGE - GI Josephine lyrics

rate me

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

Contaminate 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

They're polishing the guns

They're battening the hatches

As tough as any mother's son

Ain't no procreation

No baby cribs at sea

No friggin' in the riggin'

You can leave the boys for me

Ah don't ask don't tell

Contaminate 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 out

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

Contaminate 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
