Two Thousand, Two Hundred and Twenty-Three Miles

Johnny joined the Navy

Now he's far at sea

And when he departed

He said this to me

Darling I'll be faithful

Darling I'll be true

Every night at seven

I'll be kissing you

Johnny's two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away

Two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away

But I pretend that he's in my arms

At seven o'clock every day

Though he's two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away

Maybe I look silly

I don't really care

I'll keep kissing Johnny

Though he isn't there

'Cause he made a promise

When he went away

We would kiss each other

At seven every day

Johnny's two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away

Two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away

But I pretend that he's in my arms

At seven o'clock every day

Though he's two thousand two hundred twenty three miles

Two thousand two hundred twenty three miles

Two thousand two hundred twenty three miles away
