South Pacific movie - There Is Nothin Like A Dame lyrics
rate me<br>
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' whatsoever<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!<br>
<br>
