Blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy (sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)
He said he wanted to settle down
And let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around
And see the whole wide world
That's why I'm blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy (Sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)
I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
And a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll
That says, "Wish you were here"
(Musical Interlude)
Blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy (Sha-la, la, la, sha-la, la)
He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pa**
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'Cause I can hardly wait
Till then I'm blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
(Blue Navy blue)
(I’m as blue as I can be)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
(Blue Navy Blue)
(I’m as blue as I can be)
