《What Can You Do with General》歌词

[00:00:00] What Can You Do With General - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)/Danny Kane/Joseph J. Lilley/Trudy Stevens

[00:00:08] When the war was over there were jobs galore

[00:00:13] For the G I Josephs who were in the war

[00:00:18] But for generals things were not so grand

[00:00:24] And it isn't hard to understand

[00:00:31] What can you do with a general

[00:00:33] When he stops being a general

[00:00:36] Oh what can you do with a general who retires

[00:00:42] Who's got a job for a general

[00:00:45] When he stops being a general

[00:00:47] They all get a job but a general no one hires

[00:01:24] Nobody thinks of assigning him

[00:01:26] When they stop wining and dining him

[00:01:30] It's seems this country never has enjoyed

[00:01:35] So many one and two and three

[00:01:40] And four star generals

[00:01:43] Unemployed

[00:01:53] They fill his chest with medals

[00:01:56] While he's across the foam

[00:01:58] And they spread the crimson carpet

[00:02:01] When he comes marching home

[00:02:04] The next day someone hollers

[00:02:07] When he comes into view

[00:02:10] Here comes the general

[00:02:12] And they all say General who

[00:02:17] They're delighted that he came

[00:02:20] But they can't recall his name

[00:02:32] This country never has enjoyed

[00:02:36] So many one and two and three

[00:02:41] And four star generals

[00:02:44] Unemployed
