AT LONG LAST What manner of ship is this I see With all hands turned to on bending knee? All of her crew are working hard While other ships are resting in the yard. Men painting her guns and painting her sides F rom every position a bos'n chair rides. It looks like an ant hill covered with ants: The only difference is bell bottom pants. Trucks full of chow and some full of gear Are constantly stopping along the pier. They're filling her holds and taking great care Could it be that she's going somewhere? Snipes are busy checking such things As diesel generator and main bearing rings. Everyone's moving at such a fast pace That it looks like some fanatical race. The yeoman are turned to typing out papers, While short timers are doing all kinds of caper The storekeepers are trying to calculate pay, Gads, even the doc is painting sick bay. The deck force has gone ape, painting around, F rom crack of dawn 'till the sun in drowned. No matter where you look, from number 2 stack to keel The waiting is over. This is for real! What makes a ship act in these strange ways? lt's easy to figure, only a few more days. You ask where she's going, where she will roam? Nowhere, my friend, she's just going home!
