Follow the Fleet movie - We Saw The Sea lyrics

<br>

We joined the Navy to see the world<br>

And what did we see?<br>

We saw the sea<br>

We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic<br>

But the Atlantic isn't romantic<br>

And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be<br>

<br>

We joined the Navy to do or die<br>

But we didn't do and we didn't die<br>

We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky<br>

And what did we see?<br>

We saw the sea<br>

We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific<br>

But the Pacific isn't terrific<br>

And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be<br>

<br>

They tell us that the Admiral<br>

Is as nice as he can be<br>

But we never see the Admiral<br>

Because the Admiral has never been to sea<br>

<br>

We joined the Navy to see the girls<br>

And what did we see?<br>

We saw the sea<br>

Instead of a girl or two in a taxi<br>

We were compelled to look at the Black Sea<br>

Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be<br>

<br>

Sailing, sailing home again<br>

To see the girls upon the village green<br>

Then across the foam again<br>

To see the other seas we haven't seen<br>

<br>

We owe the Navy an awful lot<br>

For they taught us how to do the Sailor's Hornpipe<br>

And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot<br>

But more than that, they showed us the sea<br>

We never get seasick sailing the ocean<br>

We don't object to feeling the motion<br>

We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea<br>

<br>
