Here's the full song from an Andrews Sisters recording at archive: Six Jerks In A Jeep.

I've marked the changes/alterations compared to Jim's transcription from the film. In addition to the extra verses I've made a few minor alterations, also marked.

SIX JERKS IN A JEEP
(Words and music by Sid Robin)

Beep, beep! Beep, beep!

Choo-choo to Broadway! Boo, Cincinnati!
In a jeep that was built for the six of us.
Beep, beep! (ah-ah) Beep, beep! (ah-ah)
This is a taxicab to Hackensack
We're goin' up to camp and back
An' we're ready.

We're six jerks in a jeep,
Six creeps in a jeep that leaps.
Now here we come, beep, beep!
We're six jerks in a jeep.

We're six WAACs in a hack,
Six quacks here to send you, Jack.
Now look here, Max, no cracks!
We're six WAACs in a hack.

The jeep goes jumpin' and bumpin' along.
Gonna knock you right off your seat,
Till we come rompin' an' a-stompin' a song.
A-Dig it with a reet beat!

We're six jerks in a jeep,
Six gleeps in a jeep that weeps.
Now here we go, beep, beep!
We're six jerks in a jeep.

The jeep goes a-jumpin' along.
Gonna knock you right off your seat.
Here we come, a-stompin' along,
Just a-rompin' along in our jeep.

Beep, beep! Toot, toot! Lya-ah-ah-ah
Beep, beep! Toot, toot! Lya-ah-da.

We're six beauts on a scoot
That will root for my baby,
Beauts on a scoot that will zoot.
Now here we come, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot.
Six beauts on a scoot.


We're six heels on wheel, <va-va-va-veem-va-voodle-oo-za>
Schlemiels on a wheel that will reel.
We're lookin', lookin' for a meal.
We're six heels on a wheel.

The jeep goes a-jumpin' and a-bumpin' along.
We're gonna knock you right off of your seat.
Here we come rompin' and a-stompin' a song
Oh dig it, with a reet beat.

We're six blokes on a spoke,
Five blokes and a scary mokes.
And oh boy, how we broke.
Yes, we are six blokes on a spoke.

We're six jerks in a jeep.
Six of us WAACs in a hack that will leap like a jeep.
Now here we come, beep, beep!
All heels, schlemiels, on a wheel that reels.

We're six jerks in a jeep, beep, beep, beep!
Six gleeps in a jeep that weeps.
Now here we go, beep, beep!
Here we go, all six jerks in a jeep.
