How About a Cheer for the Navy

How About a Cheer for the Navy - Original "This is the Army" All-Soldier Chorus

The army this the army that

Is all we heard from where we sat

Now how about a cheer for the navy

The army's great the army's tough

But don't you think we've heard enough

So how about a cheer for the navy

We know that mister stimson is solid as the rocks

But how about an orchid for secretary knox

The army may be in the groove

But walter winchell won't approve

Unless you give a cheer for the navy

Hip hip hooray we haven't got long to stay

So how about one bouquet for the navy

One word of praise let it flow from your lips

One cheer and then we'll go back to our ships

Hip hip hooray the army has had its say

You're letting them get away with the gravy

Just let them know that an army show

Could never be a hit without the navy

The army's what you may prefer but in the social register

Is where you'll have to look for the navy

If you would like to touch the gilt of astor or of vanderbilt

You'll have to come around to the navy

The show was in the alley it simply wouldn't do

Until the big finale with navy white and blue

The army sails across the foam

The navy always bring them home

So how about a cheer for the navy

Hip hip hooray we haven't got long to stay

So how about one bouquet for the navy

One word of praise let it flow from your lips

One cheer and then we'll go back to our ships

Hip hip hooray the army has had its say

You're letting them get away with the gravy

Just let them know that an army show

Could never be a hit without the navy

Give a cheer give a cheer give a cheer give a cheer

For the navy

Just let them know that an army show

Could never be a hit without the navy the navy

That a rousing cheer is very much in order

For the n a v y the navy
