Is It Too Late To Enlist?

I wished to be a poet. I thought that would be fine

But I had to be a sailor; I could only write two lines

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

Oh my English class was easy, that much is very true,

But I’d only write twelve syllables and not a whole haiku

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

But if you have no talent for stayin’ ‘round a while

They told me that the Navy would snap me up and smile

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

Turns out in the Navy there’s a whole entire job

For writing two line songs to sing while cleanin’ with a swab

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

My captain has a button that can nuke our enemies

But I can make him tap his foot across the seven seas

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

And a gee!

And a hey!

And doodle

Dawdle

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
