D R DI ISIO GC LLEDCKLR Well, the TH left home on her 19th cruise Filling out the ranks were some other lads, In a hail of tears and a shot of booze. LOViI1g'1y branded the 111'1d9I'gI'94dS, Off to Westpac to defend her name, BoBo, Griego, Brown and Heath. There's a hot blooded bunch among her crew of men. Trying to control this ball of tension Not many places they haven't built or been, Was Motley and the strong legged chief called Jensen The C 85 R gang of cargo pumping fame. Untimely, Lorenz and Buck were lost. Ol' Little Joe, he'd give a nod Then Sniffy departed at quite a cost. And Pierce would produce a welding rod. But the gang stroked on in their usual spiffy way. The toughest challenge was always within reach. They left gorged hulls in their haze grey path, You could tell One Way was still on track, Baptized a few with a black oil bath, By the smile he wore when he finally got back And set the record in obstacle deck relay. From his thunderous assault on every beach. Constantly confronted with many jobs: Flying high above the West Pac hussle, Winches, commodes and several door knobs. A powerful image of grace and muscle They still managed to find some time to roam, Was Woodstock, the best dressed sailor of the year. Keeping one eye on the Q.M's charts, Along with Red, a fairly likeable guy, And the other on pictures of missed sweethearts. They grew a sense of unity and a feel for P.I., As they flushed their systems with black oil and beer.
