	作词 : Hall
	Me and Yates an army buddy o'mine
	Were doin' three years in
	Germany at the time
	We came upon these
	Frauleins in the bar
	Yates said, "Darf isch zee be-gleit-en?", they said "Ya"
	And 'Darf isch zee be-gleit-en means?', '
	Can we sit with you all?'
	Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of
	German beer
	My conscience and my sinuses were clear
	I asked that
	Fraulein if she was a spy
	She said, "Nein but do bis ain bissel high"
	A condition not uncommon to the
	American soldier
	Well, later on
	I went to be excused
	When I returned
	I was a bit confused
	Yates and his
	Fraulein had hit the air
	Another guy was sittin' in my chair
	A young soldier whom we shall get to know better
	I said, "Excuse me mister that's my seatI'd like to have it back sir if you pleaseThat girl's a nurse and I've been awful sick"
	The man looked up at me and said, "Mox-nix"
	Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health
	Next thing
	I knew he had a switchblade knife
	Oh Lord, I didn't know that
	Fraulein was his wife
	I took off through that
	Gasthaus like a fool
	Behind me
	I heard the crashing stools
	As the police would say, he was in hot pursuit
	Well, the waitress yelled there's
	MPs on the way
	That's one more reason
	I didn't want to stay
	As I went out the window somethin' went switch
	And I giggled all the way home knowin' he missed
	At the time it seemed like a laughing matter
	But next morning my coat was lyin' there on the bunk
	And when I saw that coat it made me jump
	That man had cut my coat right down the back
	A little bit more and they'd been playin' me taps
	And knowin' the sad nature of that song
	I would decline it
	Well, later on
	I heard that guy got stabbed
	They sent him home and didn't that make me glad
	On love and marriage
	I want to say one thing
	Oh lady, if you're married wear that ring
	And the army has a new policy if you can't move it, paint it
	If it has a switchblade knife, salute it
	Not necessarily an incident one would want to write mother about
	Germany being full of good soldiers and good people
