Lyrics for What Can You Do With A General by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | White Christmas (1954 Movie Soundtrack | | Track: | What Can You Do With A General | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | When the war was over, why, there were jobs galore
For the G.I. Josephs who were in the
war
But for generals things were not so grand
And it's not so hard to
understand
What can you do with a general
When he stops being a general?
Oh,
what can you do with a general who retires?
Who's got a job for a general
When he
stops being a general?
They all get a job but a general no one hires
They fill his
chest with medals while he's across the foam
And they spread the crimson carpet when he comes
marching home
The next day someone hollers when he comes into view
"Here comes the
general" and they all say "General who?"
They're delighted that he came
But they
can't recall his name
Nobody thinks of assigning him
When they stop wining and
dining him
It seems this country never has enjoyed
So many one and two and three and four
star generals
