Little Skipper's got a brand new boyfriend
Found him out in aisle number two
Stuck between the scrabble and the twister
All dressed up with nothing else to do
And Barbie's tryin' to keep from feeling jealous
Little sister's got an older man
Comes to town with action-packed accessories
To teach her to be flexible and stand
Little Skipper's got a brand new boyfriend
Showed up on the shelf like some mirage
Ready for a sun 'n fun adventure
With tons of khaki green and camouflage
And Barbie never had her choice of fellas
Now Skipper's moving up from boys to men
Found a muscle-mannikin to relish
Someone who could rip the arms off Ken
GI Joe's got shore leave
And Joe's got cash to spare
Joe brings pearls from foreign worlds
For girls with plastic hair
GI Joe's got shore leave
And Joe's got friends in town
Joe's got glands and moving hands
And plans to settle down
Little Skipper's got a brand new boyfriend
She keeps an extra six-pack in the fridge
Stole the keys to Barbie's Country Camper
To hit the beach with Alan, Joe and Midge
And Barbie's always dreamed of being rebellious
But doesn't have the heart to break the mold
Little sister's sending off the soldiers
She has no reputation to uphold
GI Joe's got shore leave
And Joe spares no expense
Joe wants girls with painted curls
And worlds of fashion sense
GI Joe's got shore leave
He's got an itch to scratch
GI Joe's got girls who pose
In clothes that always match
And Skipper wants to dress herself in leather
But Skipper needs assistance to unzip
Joe is armed and ready, willing, able
With his trusty hand-grenade and kung
