Chorus
Move It Over, Move It Over
Move it way over there
There’s another dirt load coming up to road
So Move It Over there
Said the private to the sergeant
“Shootin’ craps and now I’m broke again”
Said the sergeant to the private
“Let me lend you ten”
Said the private to the sergeant
“I’m so weary I could drop right here”
Said the sergeant to the private
“Lean on me, my dear”
Said the private to the sergeant
“Mother kissed me when I went to bed”
Said the sergeant to the private
“I’ll kiss you instead”
Said the private to the sergeant
“I’m getting back to camp quite late”
Said the sergeant to the private
“I’ll sit up and wait”
Said the private to the sergeant
“If you yell at me, I’ll black your eyes”
Said the sergeant to the private
“I apologize”
Said the private to the sergeant
“I could use another blanket fine”
Said the sergeant to the private
“Let me give you mine”
Said the sentry to the sergeant
“It’s so cold it’s freezin’ up my face”
Said the sergeant to the sentry
“Let me take your place”
Said the sergeant to the privates
“You’re the dumbest guys I ever knew”
Said the privates to the sergeant
“Still we all love you”
