No more apple pie or dumplings
For we're in the navy now,
And they feed Us beans for breakfast
And at moor We have them too,
And at night they feed our tummies
With a good old navy stew.
No more j%ennies, wines or highbals
When you get an awful thirst;
IL you're thinking Of enlisting
You better get used to watef hrst'
For the lids are tight ell over
And the drilling makes you warm
Bat you can't cool off on liquor
For you wear the uniform.
No more shirts Of silk or linen
For we wear b. & W. stuff,
No more night shirts or paJamas
For our pants are good enough,
No more feather ticks or pillows
But we are glad to thank the ord.
That we have a hammock and blanket
When we might have had a board.
And they feed US beans for breakfast
And at O O we have them too,
And at night shey fill our tummies
With a good old navy stew,
But by jinks we'll lick the Kaiser
When tho boss will teach US how,
For the Kaiser is the reason
We're in the navy now
