On the Hooper, the happy Hooper, A sailor sleeps tonight. On the Hooper, the happy Hooper, We all know this ain't right. ln the wardroom the Captain's screaming, Bring this man to me! ln the wardroom the Captain's screaming, He knows we're at Condition Three! So all the gallant MAAs Went out in search by numbers, With Pappy Wells in the rear, of course, To catch the man who slumbers. They checked rep five and combat, And after steering too. They knew someone was sleeping, But they could not find out who! They even checked the foc'sle And gun mount thirty-one. They weren't about to give up yetg Their search had just begun. They checked the bosun's locker, They stormed the foreward head. A raid on fox division Showed not a man in bed. The reefer flats and l.C. room Were next on Pappy's list. He yelled another order, Let not a space be -missed! Supply division proved a farce- C.P.O. another blunderg Post office, radio, E,T, shack? Pappy was beginning to wonder. 7 The engine room and fire room Proved not a man at large, So back into the mess decks Ole Pappy's men did charge. We'll split up here, yelled Pappy You go foreward - you lay aft! While Virtue on the lJV, Sat calmly back and laughed. Pappy was so excited His mustache stood out straight. He couldn't understand it, but His men were running late. He had to find the sailor Who slept the night away Before the clock struck midnight, Or he'd be on his off-duty day. Well you know Pappy as well as l, He searched both high and low. He was sure someone was sleeping But just who he did not know. Ole Pappy he got tired Of looking up and downg And he returned to combat And wearily sat down. lt wasn't but a minute, Before he fell asleep. Kennedy came on the run , And grabbed him from his seat. So Clyde - he got the gloryg Ole Pappy was chastizedg And on the happy Hooper l awoke with the sun in my eyes!
