Song by : Astaire
We joined the Navy to see the worldAnd what did we see? We saw the seaWe saw the Pacific and the AtlanticBut the Atlantic isn't romanticAnd the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be
We joined the Navy to do or dieBut we didn't do and we didn't dieWe were much too busy looking at the ocean and the skyAnd what did we see? We saw the seaWe saw the Atlantic and the PacificBut the Pacific isn't terrificAnd the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be
They tell us that the AdmiralIs as nice as he can beBut we never see the AdmiralBecause the Admiral has never been to sea
We joined the Navy to see the girlsAnd what did we see? We saw the seaInstead of a girl or two in a taxiWe were compelled to look at the Black SeaSeeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be
Sailing, sailing home againTo see the girls upon the village greenThen across the foam againTo see the other seas we haven't seen
We joined the Navy to see the worldAnd what did we see? We saw the seaWe never get seasick sailing the oceanWe don't object to feeling the motionWe're never seasick but we are awful sick of seaWe joined the NavyWe joined the NavyWe joined the Navy
