Yank! Company
Light on Your Feet
You were seen by someone enlisted;
I know you feel doomed but he isn't brass, 'sides
You pass and so your innocence will be presumed
Keep your heads on and relax and if someone attacks:
First, you laugh it off - always staying calm - then
Diffuse their accusations with complete applaud
Never beat a fast retreat
Learn to parry back - stay light on your feet -
Tell 'em "what the hell?" tell 'em "take a hike!"
Let 'em think it's out of boredom - not a thing you like
Blushing like a sugar beet
Makes them think the case against ya's complete
Army can't indict a fella light on his feet
[spoken] Here, take a look at this: Stu's journal
"What's so important in that?"
*laughs* [sung] Tales of the South Pacific that give you a clue of how Stu
And me made it through lots of rough times
April 23, on a base in Guam: I was spied beneath a bunk bed with a cook named Tom
[spoken] Oh, well hello there, Tom
[sung] Said he spilled his drink and slipped;
Found a way to reconfigure the script
August 17: Me and ensign drew... said that he was kneeling praying which was almost true
First of June, an airmen's club:
Flyer said his muscles needed a rub...
Scene was quite a fright;
We left that night still light on our feet -stay light on your feet
With some acrobatic thinking you can make it through
A bit of disguise, a little deceit...
They've got the war to worry about
They want you to give 'em an out
So, make a leap, take a chance
And you can dance through this mans army
