Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be

'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy" and joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
He said he wanted to settle down and let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around and see the whole wide world
That's why I'm blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy" and joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo and a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll that says "Wish you were here"
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy" and joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'Cause I can hardly wait
Till then I'm blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy" and joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
