The Prettiest Girl I Ever Saw
Marching Jody
The prettiest girl
I ever saw
Was sipping bourbon
Through a straw
The prettiest girl
I ever saw
Was sipping bourbon (stomp), through a straw.
I walked right up
I sat right down
I ordered up
another round.
I placed my hand
upon her knee
she said GI
your teasing me.
I placed my hand
upon her thigh
she said GI
that’s way too high.
I picked her up
I laid her down
her long blond hair
lay all around.
the wedding was
a formal one
her daddy had
a white shotgun.
and now I’ve got
a mother-in-law
and 14 kids
who call me pa.
The lesson so very clear
Instead of Bourbon-Stick to Beer,
Am I right or wrong
Are we going strong
Sound off:
One, two
Sound off
Three, four
Bring it on down-One, two…three, four
Not the words we sang in basic training at Samp son Air force Base in 1954. Our lyrics:
The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was sipping bourbon
Through a straw.
(repeat)
And now and then
The straw would slip
And I sipped bourbon
Through her lips.
(repeat)
And now I’ve got
A mother-in-law
And sixteen kids
To call me Paw
(repeat)
And if you think
It’s all a joke
Don’t sip a bourbon
Sip a Coke
(repeat).
The prettiest girl
I ever saw
was sipping bourbon
through a straw
I walked right up
and sat right down
and ordered up another round
I placed my hand
upon her knee
she said GI
you’re teasing me
I placed my hand
upon her thigh
she said GI
you’re way too high
I picked her up
and laid her down
her long blonde hair
was all around
I pushed it in
I pulled it out
it felt so good
it made me shout
and now I have
a mother in law
and fourteen kids
who call me paw
the moral of
the story is clear
instead of bourbon
stick to beer
