We Saw The Sea

We joined the Navy to see the world

And what we see? We saw the sea

We saw the Pacific and Atlantic

But the Atlantic is not romantic

And the Pacific is not what it's cracked up to be

We joined the Navy to do or die

But we do not and did not die

We were too busy watching the sea and sky

And what we see? We saw the sea

We saw the Atlantic and Pacific

But the Pacific is not terrific

And the Atlantic is not what it's cracked up to be

They tell us that Admiral

It's as good as it 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 we see? We saw the sea

Instead of a girl or two in a taxi

We were forced to look for the Black Sea

Seeing the Black Sea is not what it's cracked up to be

Sailing, sailing home again

To see the girls on the village green

So, all foam again

To see the other seas we have not 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 are not opposed to feel movement

We're never seasick but we are very sea sick
