Blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy

He said he wanted to settle down
And let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around
And see the whole wide world

That's why I'm blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy

I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
And a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll
That says, "Wish you were here"

Blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy

He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'Cause I can hardly wait

Till then I'm blue, navy blue
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Navy
