BOY GEORGE THE UNRECOUPABLE ONE MAN BANDIT (1999) LYRICS   GI Josephine I serve my country well In slingbacks and beret I march on your hypocrisy 'Cause I am feeling queer today As bright as all your medals And shiny epaulettes But I can't go to war right now 'Cause my hair is a mess Ah don't ask don't tell Contaminate me with your smell Perfume powder treachery Loaded guns and sodomy Soak me down with your desire In the shower under fire Wave the white flag, keep it clean Call me G.I. Josephine The dykes are on the starboard They're polishing the guns They're battening the hatches As tough as any mother's son Ain't no procreation No baby cribs at sea No friggin' in the riggin' You can leave the boys for me Ah don't ask don't tell Contaminate me with your smell Perfume powder treachery Loaded guns and sodomy Soak me down with your desire In the shower under fire Wave the white flag, keep it clean Call me G.I. Josephine Come out Come out And it's one two three I don't live by the book Don't ask me I don't give a damn I don't wanna be a man And it's five six seven Open up the pearly gates Ain't no time to wonder why Anyone can die Ah don't ask don't tell Contaminate me with your smell Perfume powder treachery Loaded guns and sodomy Soak me down with your desire In the shower under fire Wave the white flag, keep it clean Call me G.I.
