Oil to the war, Goodby to the wife, lt's Jax for us and a sailor's life. A But this Navy's for peacetime, so we take a strain, We're not going to fight, we're just going to train. Six months slip by, the Skipper's still tense, M7e're going to sea, and end the suspense. The Pilots are qualified, the Plane Captains ready, And the Lantflex operation proves we are steady. KfVith a stop at Quonset and the K I Bar, We leave for the Med and ports afar. Gibraltar and Sicily, then Cannes in France, Oo la la, how those French gals can dance. Spain and Italy, the ports come up fast, Your pay is spent, before a week has pastj Then the Admiral is awakened by a card game o ne night, So he dreamed up Grand Slam to prove we could Fight The Maintenance gang had to slave and sweat, . They met the schedule, but Keith's plane got wet. Plane pushing, Mess cooking, Gad what a life! The mail gets lost, no letter from the wife. Tours to the Alps and a Turkish bazaar, And Cigarette Joe? in some foreign bar. It's all been fun and we've seen all the sights, But it's Stateside for us, no more lonesome nights. Oceana in june and then we'll soon be out, Will the Reserves want us back? There's serious doubt For in these two years, since we went to war, We haven't any Ensigns or Seamen anymore. The Officers made Commander, the Seamen are Chiefs S0 the Navy will unload us with a sigh of relief. B. M. A. lillmac .. ..-.. , . .f W WH-, W , -, ,,.,-,... ..:: . ,
