W.
HERES TO UNCLE sAMMY's
BOYS!"
All welcome boys, the town is yours!
Thrown open wide are all its doors.
These palm-glrt isles are full of lows
For Uncle Sammy's navy boys,
So just pitch in, and have your fun.
Our old towns brighter when you're
here,
Than any time throughout the year,
Passing along in happy bands
Fresh from the sights in other lands,
Barred to the salt breeze, Drowned
with the sun.
Time was, when every Jack in blue
Was held in the light of a boog-a-boo
Unsteady as he rolled by
Zach mother to her flock would cry,
Hurry, here comes a sailor-man!''
But nowadays a different fuss
Is made DER those that visit us,
A proud matron calls her little son
And says, Some day, dear, you'll be
one
"Of those fine chaps, so spic and
span"
Strolling by, all white and clean,
You lend to our streets festive scene.
tbs with horror we recalled war, and
the price
That is paid with our boys as a sacri-
flee.
SO we think of you only in pleasure
bright
Then crown your hat with a pansy lei
And forget the sorrows of yesterday
List to some maidens song of love.
With the sea at your feet, and the
stars above,
And her voice sounding sweet in the
soft still night.
Perhaps there is one who is waiting
for you
Where the sun is colder, the sky less
blue,
But after all tbs your holiday
And song and jest is the Hawaiian
way
And you know in your heart she's
the only one.
So welcome boys, the town is yours,
Thrown open wide are all it's doors
These palm-girt isles are lull of joys
For Uncle Sammys navy boys.
So just pitch in, and have your fun!
