We've got sunlight on the sand
We've got moonlight on the sea
We've got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the trees
We've got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games
What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames
We get packages from home
We get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo rose
We get letters doused with perfume
We get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get?
You know damn well
There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
We feel lonely and we long
For the fair and gentle sex
We would like to feel the feeling
Of some arms around our necks
We feel hungry as the wolf felt
When he met Red Riding Hood
What don't we feel?
We don't feel good
There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
Lots of things in life are beautiful
But brother, there is one particular thing
That is nothing, whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other
There is nothing like a dame
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame
