Hello there sailor Hi there Lili Marlene Good morning school girls Welcome to the team Beehive hairdo forty-five on the hip Patrolwoman Saunders don't you give her no lip Took me to the station for a breath test Then back to her bedroom for some house arrest Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold Women in uniform but oooh they feel so warm Flying to my hometown on a 747 Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven Looking up the aisle trying to see what I could see She leaned over and said coffee tea or me White apron and brown leather shoes The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised Broke my left leg and sprained my right Now she takes my temperature every night Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm Women in uniform Women in uniform Women in uniform Women in uniform Commando raid on the Lebanese border Sergeant Anita she gives the order Khaki jacket and a sten gun Baby I surrender let's have some fun Khaki navy blue and brass buttons bring me to my knees A peaked cap and a badge or two oooh they're such a tease So girls if the man you need just won't come across Put on a uniform show him who's the boss Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm Women in uniform khaki white and blue Women in uniform coming after you
