lirik lagu salute to a switchblade – hall tom t
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 seat
i’d like to have it back, sir, if you please
that 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
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 good people)
