True to the Navy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Though she often was seen
With a handsome marine
She was always true to the Navy
Though her evenings were set
With a flying cadet
She was always true to the Navy
Some commander named Orlando
Wrote her letters every day
And they say she liked the private
In a general way
But their heart wouldn't melt
You could see how she felt
She was always true to the Navy
Though they made her the queen
Of the Army canteen
She was always true to the Navy
Though they swapped her her dresses
At the offices' masses
She was always true to the Navy
Though she tried to be sweet
To the cop on the beat
She was always true to the Navy
Though she did fraternize
With some paratroop guys
She was always true to the Navy
She knew millions of civilians
But she did her kisses too
Guys wore boat-button trousers
And a coat of navy blue
Though she did lot to play
In their own little way
She was always true to the Navy
(Choir) She was always true to the Navy!
She was always true to the Navy!
She was always true to the Navy!
