Sailors, Seabees and Marines: We got sunlight on the sand, We got moonlight on the sea, We got mangoes and bananas You can pick right off the tree, We got volleyball and ping-pong And a lot of dandy games! What ain't we got? We ain't got dames! We get packages from home, We get movies, we get shows, We get speeches from our skipper And advice from Tokyo Rose, We get letters doused with perfume We get dizzy from the smell! What don't we get? You know darn well! We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for What we need is what there ain't no substitute for... There is nothin' like a dame, Nothin' in the world, There is nothin' you can name That is anythin' like a dame! We feel restless, we feel blue, We feel lonely and in grief, We feel ev'ry kind of feelin', But the feelin' of relief We feel hungry as the wolf felt
