G.I. HAIRCUT
(Unknown)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers - 1943


Gee, I got a GI haircut
Gee, it's not a pretty haircut
I am such an awful sad guy since I cut my hair
Gee, I got a GI haircut
And I wouldn't care but
No more girls give me the glad eye
With my head so bare.
Army barbers sure are wizards
Up and down they go with scissors
Soon your hair is on the floor
And "Boom" brother, there ain't no more
When I told him how I want it
Trimmed a bit with hair oil on it
Nineteen yard birds held me there
And Gee I got a GI haircut.

(Johnny got a haircut, haircut, haircut,
Johnny got a haircut just like mine)

I dream of Johnny but his light brown hair
Seems to be lying `neath an army barber's chair.

No more side burns, they're too fancy
Nothin' quite so fancy pantsy
Says his stuff is what it's called
And "Boom" brother, they leave you bald
I was sure it wouldn't happen
But the barber caught me nappin'
When I climbed into his chair
And Gee, I got a GI haircut.
