there is nothin' like a dame

we got sunlight on the sand

we got moonlight on the sea

we got mangoes and bananas

you can pick right off the tree

we got volleyball and ping-pong

and a lot of dandy games

what ain't we got?

we ain't got dames

we get packages from home

we get movies

we get shows

we get speeches from our skipper

and advice from tokyo rose

we get letters doused with perfume

we get dizzy from the smell

what don't we get?

you know darn well

we have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for

we got nothin' to look masculine and cute for

there is nothin' like a dame

nothin' in the world

there is nothin' you can name

that is anything like a dame

we feel lonely and we long for

for the fair and gentle sex

we would like to feel the feeling

of some arms around our necks

we feel as hungry as the wolf felt

when he met red riding hood

now what don't we feel?

we don't feel good

lots of things in life are beautiful

but brother

there is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever

in any way

shape

fashion

or form to do with any other

there is nothin' like a dame

nothin' in the world

there is nothin' you can name

that is anything like a dame

there are no books like a dame

and nothin' looks like a dame

there are no drinks like a dame

and nothin' thinks like a dame

and nothin' acts like a dame

or attracts like a dame

there ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here

that can't be cured by pullin' him near

a girly

womanly

female

feminine dame
