Lyrics for How About A Cheer For The Navy by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | This Is The Army (1942 | | Track: | How About A Cheer For The Navy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | AABA chorus:]
The Army this, the Army that
Is all we heard from where we sat
Now how
about a cheer for the Navy?
The Army's great, the Army's tough
But don't you think
we've heard enough?
So how about a cheer for the Navy?
We know that Mister Stimson
Is solid as the rocks
But how about an orchid
For Secretary Knox?
The
Army may be in the groove
But Walter Winchell won't approve
Unless you give a cheer for
the Navy
[ABAC chorus:]
Hip hip hooray
We haven't got long to stay
So how
about one bouquet
For the Navy?
One word of praise that'd fall from your
lips
One cheer and then we'll go back to our ships
Hip hip hooray
The Army has
had its say
You're letting them get away
With the gravy
Just let them
know
That an Army show
Could never be a hit without the Navy
[2nd AABA
chorus]
The Army's what you may prefer
But in the social register
Is where you'll
have to look for the Navy
If you would like to touch the gilt
Of Astor or a
Vanderbilt
You'll have to come around to the Navy
The show was in the alley
It
simply wouldn't do
Until the big finale
With Navy white and blue
The Army sails
across the foam
The Navy always bring them home
So how about a cheer for the
Navy?
[coda:]
Give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer
For the
Navy
Just make it clear
That a rousing cheer
Is very much in order for the
N-A-V-Y
The Navy
