Lyrics:
Join the Navy
That’s the place to be
Join the Navy
Be a W-A-V-E
Do-ya-doot, do-ya-doot
Do your duty today!
Be a boot or a cute little
Lieut in your suit of blue
Join the boyfriend
Who’s across the foam
Help to bring him back home
Uncle Sam needs your man
And he sent us out to say
Join the Navy band
When they play
Do-ya-doot, do-ya-doot
Do-ya-doot, do your duty today!
Join the Navy
Do your part today
Join the Navy
Get hep to the USA
Snap your cap for a chap
Who will say to you
Well, all root, you’re a beaut
I salute your cute suit of blue
Join the boyfriend
On the starboard side
He’s already applied
Uncle Sam needs your gam
In uniform today
So do-ya-doot, do-ya-doot
Do-ya-doot-doot-duty today
Do-ya-doot, do-ya-doot
Do-ya-doot-doot-duty today
Do your duty today!
