Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be 'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy" And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee 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 Nay-ee-ay-vee 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 Nay-ee-ay-vee 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 Nay-ee-ay-vee
