Jeep anthem "rhythm of the jeep"

[Nick Johns]

Found this 1943 song sheet "The Rhythm of the Jeep" .....all together now....

 

 

Jeep Jeep thats's what they call it, Just needs a GI to hold it,

 

Bounc-ing o-ver road and lane, driv-ing this tune round my brain.

 

Have you ev-er tried THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP its a gal-lop and a wriggle not a creep,

 

You must find a lease.and-len-der, who is just a sol - id send-er but be carefull you don't end up in a heap

 

When you hear a rat-tle and a little hoot Then its time for you to shake a dainty boot----

 

All the book-ies will be leap-ing and the Ser-geant Ma-jor weep-ing

 

When they get THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP

 

You bend your knees-- and then you boog-ie to your partner with a Beep - Beep - Beep - Beep, You cud-dle up,

 

but you had bet-ter watch your drivin cause your'e tak-ing a ride in a Jeep.

 

Jack and Jill no long-er ling-er on a hill

 

Now-a -days they're Su-sy -que-ing with a will

 

At the Palais you will find them with the gang all there behind them Jiv-ing to THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP------
