WAVES In Navy Blue
(Fred Waring 1943)
Oh, it started like a pebble when you toss it from the shore
And the pebble makes a ripple, and the ripple many more
As they spread across the ocean from each ripple comes a
Wave
And each WAVE will add a sailor to our Navy strong and
Brave
Then each sailor boards a battleship a-heading out to war
And his fighting heart is happier than when he was ashore
Thus the countless thousand ripples grow to countless
thousand waves
And the WAVES account for countless thousand men our
Navy saves
For ev'ry WAVE in the Navy Blue
There's a sailor on the sea
And for ev'ry hand at the WAVES‘ command
There's a mighty fist against the enemy
And for ev'ry heart that will do her part
There's a sailor's heart that true.
And so we're all standing fast
Till the men come home at last
Old Navy, here's to you!
