the sailors' polka

Singer:dean martin

come on and play the sailors' polka

make way for navy blue

oh how the girls love to polka

with a sailor who's tried and true

where there is music and there's moonlight

the navy knows what to do

so come on and play the sailors' polka

make way for navy blue

(oh the band will start a-playing

when the fleet comes sailing in

they'll be hip hip hip hooray-ing

and the good times will begin)

they'll be gobs and gobs of misses

who'll be waiting on the shore

with gobs and gobs of kisses

for the gobs that they adore

(long before they drop anchor

you will hear the music start

every pretty girl will hanker

to win a sailor's heart)

yeah

the band will start a-playing

the dancing will begin

when the fleet comes sailing in

come on and play the sailors' polka

make way for navy blue

oh how the girls love to polka

with a sailor who's tried and true

where there is music and there's moonlight

the navy knows what to do

so come on and play the sailors' polka

make way for navy blue
