and why do you lie there still sleeping
there's a waiting line forming to use the latrine
and the sun is just opening the sky
ah the breakfast they're serving just has to be seen
and you've only to open your eyes
but it's good for a laugh
the tent flap is loose and the peg must be gone
and why do you lie there still sleeping
the night nurse is gone and the sexy one's here
and she tells us such beautiful lies
her uniform's tight on her marvellous rear
and you've only to open your eyes
they're loading the planes
it's over for us; there's no more to be done
and why do you lie there still sleeping
we'll let it be such a surprise
and you've only to open your eyes
jimmy newman! they won't take my word
but they're shaking their heads
jimmy just show them you're sleeping
but there's nothing to gain
jimmy! you're missing the plane
and you've only to open your eyes
