Daddy Was a Sailor

Daddy was a sailor, join the Navy, see the world

Daddy was a sailor, boy, he liked the pretty girls.

Taught me how to dance, taught me that jitter bug groove

Taught me how to make romance, my daddy taught me how to move.

Daddy was a lover, he traveled all around the world

Daddy was a lover, be he loved the pretty girls.

Taught me how to cuss, some folks didn't approve

Taught me how to fight and fuss, my daddy taught mehow to move.

Daddy wasn't always at home that much

But somehow he managed to keep in touch

Well, he sent me a hula girl post card from Hawaii, he did

And that was just enough for that six year kid.

Well, I never joined the navy but you know I've been around the world
