Lyrics for We Saw The Sea by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Follow The Fleet (1936 | | Track: | We Saw The Sea | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | We joined the Navy to see the world
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
We saw the
Pacific and the Atlantic
But the Atlantic isn't romantic
And the Pacific isn't what it's
cracked up to be
We joined the Navy to do or die
But we didn't do and we didn't
die
We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky
And what did we see?
We
saw the sea
We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific
But the Pacific isn't terrific
And
the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be
They tell us that the Admiral
Is as
nice as he can be
But we never see the Admiral
Because the Admiral has never been to
sea
We joined the Navy to see the girls
And what did we see?
We saw the
sea
Instead of a girl or two in a taxi
We were compelled to look at the Black
Sea
Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be
Sailing, sailing home
again
To see the girls upon the village green
Then across the foam again
To see the
other seas we haven't seen
We owe the Navy an awful lot
For they taught us how to do
the Sailor's Hornpipe
And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot
But more than that,
they showed us the sea
We never get seasick sailing the ocean
We don't object to feeling
the motion
We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
