Baby loves me yes, yes she does
Oh, the girl's outta sight, yeah

THE HORIZONTAL LIEUTENANT by The Diamonds (lyrics):

1-2-3-4 who’s the guy the gals adore? The Horizontal Lieutenant
3-4-5-6 who gets all the dolls and chicks? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Though his army record was poor, he sure won the battle of toujour l’amour.
Hup Hup 1-2
One for all and all for who? The Horizontal Lieutenant.
(Musical interlude)
Who’s the guy the gals love most? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Who’s the favorite at the post? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Though his army record was poor, he sure won the battle of toujour l’amour.
Hup Hup 1-2
One for all and all for who? The Horizontal Lieutenant.
He was game with the dames.
He’s the most
He’s the toast
Here’s to our 4 star Horizontal Lieutenant --- Horizontal Lieutenant --- Horizontal Lieutenant
