| Lyrics: | We hate to leave,
But when they give you leave,you gotta leave,
Oh our hearts
bleed for all you guys aboard,
But right now sympathy is a thing we can't
afford
We hate to leave, we hate to leave,
Without you guys along, we'll even
grieve,
But we'll be back, yes, we'll be back.
Before we're even
missed
And tell you guys about the gals out there that we have kissed,
We'll even
say, we'll even say,
We really hate to leave.
(You know, Clarence, I hate the
thought of going ashore,)
(And leave these guys here sitting in their
undershirts)
(We gotta meet all those beautiful dames in their soft silk
dresses,)
(But duty is duty, and an order is an order)
(Now I know some guys get a
thrill out of meeting)
(A gorgeous gal every night.)
Oh, we hate to leave, we hate
to leave,
But when they give you leave, you gotta leave.
No more pin-up gals that
we so enjoy,
Tonight, my boy, we get to meet the real McCoy.
We hate to leave, we
hate to leave,
But we'll be back before the night is here.
We want to stay, we
want to stay,
Our hearts are with the ship.
But the Admiral made us take this
leave
Or he'll beat us with a whip.
We'd rather stay, we'd rather
stay,
Oh we really hate to leave. |
