A Sailor's Not a Sailor ('til a Sailor's Been Tattooed)

歌詞

[As sung by Mitzi Gaynor and Ethel Merman:] [Merman:] I'm an old salt [Gaynor:] I'm a young salt [Both:] In the Navy we've been working very hard [Merman:] I was part of the Flotilla with Dewey in Manila [Gaynor:] I'm a new recruit at the Brooklyn Navy yard [Both:] Tonight we're on a spree and feeling flow'ry [Both:] We've got a date with gals and drink and food [Gaynor:] Across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Bow'ry [Merman:] And I'm gonna get the kid tattooed [Gaynor:] Tattooed? [Merman:] Tattooed! [Both:] A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed [Merman:] Here's an anchor from a tanker That I sailed upon when first I went to sea Here's another of my mother Takes me back to when I sat upon her knee Here's a crimson heart with a Cupid's dart Here's a Battle Cruiser and when I sit down On that, too There's a tattoo Of my home town [Gaynor:] To the Bow'ry [Merman:] To the Bow'ry [Gaynor:] 'Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm just in the mood [Merman:] He'll be filled with diff'rent mixtures And covered up with pictures [Gaynor:] I can't wait to be, 'twill be great to be tattooed [Merman:] Tattooed? [Gaynor:] Tattooed! [Both:] A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed
