Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

He said he wanted to settle down,
And let me be his girl.
But first he had to do a little travelin' around,
And see the whole wide world.

That's why I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo,
And a souvenir.
A walky-talky, wind-up, little, China doll,
That says, "Wish you were here."

Instrumental break.

Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.

He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass.
A forty-eight hour day-ate.
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast,
'Cause I can hardly wait.

Till then I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.

Diane sings an elongated Ah-ahhhhhh's while backups repeat, "Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be."
