SAILORS' POLKA
>From the film "Sailor Beware" (1952)
(Music: Jerry Livingston / Words: Mack David)

Dean Martin (Film Soundtrack) - 1952



Come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue
Oh, how the girls all love to polka
With a sailor who's tried and true

Where there is music and there's moonlight
The Navy knows what to do
So, come on and play the sailors' polka
Make way for Navy blue

(Oh, the band will start in playin')
(When the fleet comes sailin' in)
(There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin')
(And the good times will begin)

There'll be gobs and gobs of misses
Who'll be waitin' on the shore
With gobs and gobs of kisses
(BASS SINGER: For the gobs that they adore)

(Long before they drop anchor)
(You will hear the music start)
(Ev'ry pretty girl will hanker)
(To win a sailor's heart)

Yeah, the band will start in playin'
And the dancing will begin
When the fleet comes sailin' in

DUET WITH DEAN & CHORUS:
Come on and play the sailors' polka
(Oh, the band will start in playin' when the fleet comes sailing in)
Make way for Navy blue
(There'll be hip, hip, hip, hoorayin' and the good times will begin)
Oh, how the girls all love to polka
(There'll be gobs and gobs of misses who'll be waitin' on the shore)
With a sailor who's tried and true.
(With gobs and gobs of kisses for the gobs that they adore)
Where there is music and there's moonlight
(Long before they drop anchor you will hear the music start)
The Navy knows what to do
(Ev'ry pretty girl will hanker to win a sailor's heart)
So, come on and play the sailors' polka
(Yeah, the band will start in playin' and they'll dance the whole
night through)
So make way for Navy blue (BASS: Make way for Na- )
Submerge! Submerge! (BASS: -vy)
Scrape the bottom! (BASS: Blue)
