When the war was over

There were jobs galore

For the GI Josephs who were in the war

But for generals things were not so grand

And it isn 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 got a job for a general

When he stops being a general

They all get a job but a general no one hires

He walks into an office

In answer to an end

He take this job offer

The paying is not too bad

They excuse last precision

And he answers with the pouch

I was the general

And they asking me to lunch

Men they has to meet the mall

But he doesn get the job

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

Unemployed

They fill his chest with medals

While he 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 delighted that he came

But they can recall his name

Somehow it not understand enough they think

No job could be good enough

That why this country never has enjoyed

So many one and two and three and four star generals

Unemployed
