There Is Nothing Like a Dame

We got sunlight on the sand

We got moonlight on the sea

We got mangos and bananas

You can pick right off the tree

We 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 (was a jap. radio station at ware time)

We get letters doused with perfume

We get dizzy from the smell

What don't we get?

You know darn well

We got nothing to put on a clean white suit for,

What we need is what there ain't no substitue for

There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world

There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame

We feel restless we feel blue

We feel lonely and in grief

We feel every kind of feeling

But the feeling of relief

We feel hungry as the wolf felt

when he met red riding hood

What don't we feel? we don't feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but brother,

There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any 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

Nothing else is built the same,

Nothing in the world

Has the soft and wavy frame

Like the silhouette of a dame

There's absolutely nothing

like the frame of a dame

So suppose a dame ain't bright

Or completly free from flaws

Or as faithful as a bird dog

Or as kind as santa clause

It's a waste of time to worry

Over things that they have not

Be thankful for the things they've got

There is nothing you can name

That is anything like a dame

There are no books like a dame

And nothing looks like a dame

There are no drinks like a dame

And nothing thinks like a dame

Nothing acts like a dame

Or attracts like a dame

There ain't a thing thats wrong with any man here

That can't be cured by putting him near

a girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
