We got sunlight on the sand,
We got moonlight on the sea,
We got mangos and bananas
You can pick right off a tree,
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games!
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!
We feel restless, we feel blue,
We feel lonely, and in brief,
We feel ev′ry kind of feelin',
But the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
When he met Red Hiding-hood
Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother,
There is one particular thing that is nothin′ whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other.
So suppose a dame ain't right
Or completely free from flaws,
Or as faithful as a bird dog,
Or as kind as Santa Claus,
It′s a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not,
Be thankful for the things they got!
There are no books like a dame,
And nothin' looks like a dame.
There are no drinks like a dame,
And nothin' thinks like a dame,
Nothin′ acts like a dame,
There ain′t a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can′t be cured by putting him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!
