Henry Krieger - No Dames! lyrics

(Spoken intro) [BARTENDER] The Swingin' Dinghy is closin', folks. Time for me to clean up, time for you to clear out [GIRLS] See you in eight months! Toodle-oo! [BARTENDER] Eight months? [SAILOR 1] Yeah, we're shipping out in the morning [SAILOR 2] Golly, eight months without a dame! [BURT] Can you beat it? [BARTENDER] You're gonna have to beat it (Song) [BURT] We are headin' out to sea And however it will be It ain't gonna be the same 'Cause no matter what we see When we're out there on the sea We ain't gonna see a dame We'll be searchin' high and low On the deck and down below But it's a cryin' shame Oh, we'll see a lot of fish But we'll never clock a dish We ain't gonna see a dame No dames! [SAILOR 1] We might see some octopuses [BURT] No dames! [SAILOR 2] Or a half a dozen clams [BURT] No dames! [SAILOR 3] We might even see a mermaid [ALL] But mermaids got no gams! [SAILOR 4] No gams! (dance break) [SAILORS] Have we got a girl for you! Out there on the sea Here's how it will be I'm gonna dance with you, pal You're gonna dance with me When we're out there on the sea We'll be as happy as can be Or so the captain claims [BURT] But we have to disagree 'Cause the only guarantee Is I'll see a lot of you And you'll see a lot of me [SAILORS] And it's absolutely certain That we'll see a lot of sea But we ain't gonna see no dames No dames! We're going to sea! No dames! We're going to sea! No dames! We're going to sea! We ain't gonna see no dames! (spoken outro) [SAILOR ENTERING BAR] This place looks open!
