This is the Army movie - How About A Cheer For The Navy? lyrics

rate me

<br>

The Army this, the Army that<br>

Is all we heard from where we sat<br>

Now how about a cheer for the Navy?<br>

<br>

The Army's great, the Army's tough<br>

But don't you think we've heard enough?<br>

So how about a cheer for the Navy?<br>

<br>

We know that Mister Stimson<br>

Is solid as the rocks<br>

But how about an orchid<br>

For Secretary Knox?<br>

<br>

The Army may be in the groove<br>

But Walter Winchell won't approve<br>

Unless you give a cheer for the Navy<br>

<br>

Hip hip hooray<br>

We haven't got long to stay<br>

So how about one bouquet<br>

For the Navy?<br>

<br>

One word of praise, let it flow from your lips<br>

One cheer and then we'll go back to our ships<br>

<br>

Hip hip hooray<br>

The Army has had its say<br>

You're letting them get away<br>

With the gravy<br>

<br>

Just let them know<br>

That an Army show<br>

Could never be a hit without the Navy<br>

<br>

[2]<br>

The Army's what you may prefer<br>

But in the social register<br>

Is where you'll have to look for the Navy<br>

<br>

If you would like to touch the gilt<br>

Of Astor or of Vanderbilt<br>

You'll have to come around to the Navy<br>

<br>

The show was in the alley<br>

It simply wouldn't do<br>

Until the big finale<br>

With Navy white and blue<br>

<br>

The Army sails across the foam<br>

The Navy always bring them home<br>

So how about a cheer for the Navy?<br>

<br>

[coda:]<br>

Give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer<br>

For the Navy<br>

Just make it clear<br>

That a rousing cheer<br>

Is very much in order for the N-A-V-Y<br>

The Navy<br>

Navy<br>

<br>
