THE SEABEES

The Navy needed fighters and the
Navy needed men,
So they organized the Seabees who
could fight and work again
They took Welders, riggers, boiler
men, butchers, cooks and bakers
too,
They put them in the Navy, and
showed them the proper thing
to do.
With a machine gun and a rifle the
Seabees learned to shoot,
We use big machet and 4 thou
sand things TO boot.
They taught us how to march and
drill, they taught us how to
dress,
And we even learned to manage how
to get seconds at the mess.
We learned the Navy lingo, we
called it head. deck, and swab,
We learned just how to knock it off
like any other COB.
They taught us all these many
things in 10 weeks or less,
And what they didn't teach US, we

and we left for Island *,

at last it hove in sight,
We knew that they were ready SO
we got prepared to fight
We landed under heavy fire, there
was plenty shot and shell,
But we pushed up to the beach
head and we gave them plenty
hell.
We soon had wiped the Nipples out
and then we went to work,
Every seabee did his duty, not a
one was seen to shirk.
We built mighty landing field, a
barrack and a dock,
And about a hundred miles of road
we made from solid rock.
We got things finally squared away
twas pretty to be seen,
Then we went back to the beach
head, where we saw our frs

SEABEES LAMENT

A seabee in the corner quiet and
gulm,
Stripped to the waist and burned
by the sun,
Crouched by the box with a candles
faint CLEAN,
And with inspirations he dare not
name,
He wrote these words to the
rythmn of the rain.
Where there ainf no ten command
ments,
And man can raise a thirst,
Lie the out casts of civilization,
The victims of life at it's worst
Down on these rain-soaked Islands
Are the men that God forgot,
Battling the treacherous fever,
The itch and the tropical rot.
Nobody knows they are living,
And nobody gives a damn,
Back home they are soon forgotten
These seabees of Uncle SAM
Seabees on foreign duty,
Earning their meager pay,
Guarding their country's millions
On a dot of land far away
Living with dirty natives,
Down in the sweltering zone,
Dreaming of wives and loved ones
And thousands of miles from homel
Drenehed with the sweat of the
evenings
They lie in their hunks and dream
Killing themselves with bush-beer
To dry up memories stream.
Vermin at night on their pillows,
Ills that no doctor can cure,
He'll no, they're not exiled con
victs,
Just sEABEES on foreign tourl
