What Can You Do With a General? Lyrics

Soundtrack Album: White Christmas

What Can You Do With a General? Text

[Verse:]
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

[Refrain:]
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
Unemployed

White Christmas

A man in a blue suit singing on the stage, barely moving. Why such a performance must be considered by someone as beautiful? And why it is watched on TV by again all the same very dressed-up and having evening make-up people? In general, the plot, perhaps, has some meaning, but as a separate insert, it looks more than boring. After 20 seconds of this monotonous pop, you want to shut it down or to switch to something funnier and more dynamic, such as a funeral march.
