Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be
Cos my steady boy said "Ship Ahoy"
And joined the Navy
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,
Cos my steady boy said "Ship Ahoy"
And joined the Navy.
I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
and a souvenir,
A walky-talky windup little China doll
That says "Wish you were here."
Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be,
Cos my steady boy said "Ship Ahoy"
And joined the Navy.
He's coming home to see me on a weekend pass,
A forty-eight hour day.
That boat he's sailing on just better get here fast,
Cos I can hardly wait.
Till then, I'm blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be,
Cos my steady boy said "Ship Ahoy"
And joined the Navy.
