Blue, navy blue I'm as blue as I can be 'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy" And joined the Navy He said he wanted to settle down And let me be his girl But first he had to do a little travelin' around And see the whole wide world That's why I'm blue, navy blue I'm as blue as I can be 'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy" And joined the Navy I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo And a souvenir A walky-talky wind-up little China doll That says, "Wish you were here" Blue, navy blue I'm as blue as I can be 'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy" And joined the Navy He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass A forty-eight hour day-ate That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast 'Cause I can hardly wait Till then I'm blue, navy blue I'm as blue as I can be 'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy" And joined the Navy
