We Saw The Sea

Lyrics

We joined the Navy to see the world
 And what did we see? We saw the sea
 We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic
 But the Atlantic isn't romantic
 And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be
 We joined the Navy to do or die
 But we didn't do and we didn't die
 We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky
 And what did we see? We saw the sea
 We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific
 But the Pacific isn't terrific
 And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be
 They tell us that the Admiral
 Is as nice as he can be
 But we never see the Admiral
 Because the Admiral has never been to sea
 We joined the Navy to see the girls
 And what did we see? We saw the sea
 Instead of a girl or two in a taxi
 We were compelled to look at the Black Sea
 Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be
 Sailing, sailing home again
 To see the girls upon the village green
 Then across the foam again
 To see the other seas we haven't seen
 We joined the Navy to see the world
 And what did we see? We saw the sea
 We never get seasick sailing the ocean
 We don't object to feeling the motion
 We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea
 We joined the Navy
 We joined the Navy
 We joined the Navy
