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.
