Rodgers And Hammerstein - There Is Nothin Like A Dame lyrics

rate me

Sailors, Seabees and Marines:<br />

We got sunlight on the sand,<br />

We got moonlight on the sea,<br />

We got mangoes and bananas<br />

You can pick right off the tree,<br />

We got volleyball and ping-pong<br />

And a lot of dandy games!<br />

What ain't we got?<br />

We ain't got dames!<br />

<br />

We get packages from home,<br />

We get movies, we get shows,<br />

We get speeches from our skipper<br />

And advice from Tokyo Rose,<br />

We get letters doused with perfume<br />

We get dizzy from the smell!<br />

What don't we get?<br />

You know darn well!<br />

<br />

We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for<br />

What we need is what there ain't no substitute for...<br />

<br />

There is nothin' like a dame,<br />

Nothin' in the world,<br />

There is nothin' you can name<br />

That is anythin' like a dame!<br />

<br />

We feel restless, we feel blue,<br />

We feel lonely and in grief,<br />

We feel ev'ry kind of feelin',<br />

But the feelin' of relief<br />

We feel hungry as the wolf felt<br />

When he met Red Hiding-hood<br />

What don't we feel?<br />

We don't feel good!<br />

<br />

Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother,<br />

There is one particular thing that is nothin' what'soever<br />

In any way, shape or form like any other.<br />

<br />

There is nothin' like a dame,<br />

Nothin' in the world,<br />

There is nothin' you can name<br />

That is anythin' like a dame!<br />

<br />

Nothin' else was built the same,<br />

Nothin' in the world<br />

As the soft and wavy frame<br />

Like the silhouette of a dame!<br />

<br />

There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame.<br />

<br />

So suppose that dame and bride<br />

Are completely free from flaws,<br />

Or as faithful as a bird dog,<br />

Or as kind as Santa Claus,<br />

It's a waste of time to worry<br />

Over things that they have not,<br />

We're thankful for the things they got!<br />

<br />

There is nothin' you can name<br />

That is anythin' like a dame!<br />

<br />

There are no books like a dame,<br />

And nothin' looks like a dame.<br />

There are no drinks like a dame,<br />

And nothin' thinks like a dame,<br />

Nothin' acts like a dame,<br />

Or attracts like a dame.<br />

There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here<br />

That can't be cured by pullin' him near<br />

A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
