"Ginger You're Barmy" (1962) is a comic novel by David Lodge based on his experiences of National Service in post-war Britain between August 1955 and August 1957.

The title comes from the rhyme:

"Ginger, you're barmy,"
"You'll never join the Army,"
"You'll never be a scout,"
"With your shirt hanging out,"
"Ginger, you're barmy."
