We got sunlight on the sand, we got moonlight on the sea
We got mangoes and bananas you can pick right off a tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong and a lot o' dandy games
What ain't we got, we ain't got dames
We get packages from home, we get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper and advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume, we get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get, you know darn well
We got nothin' to put on a clean white - shirt for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for
There is nothing like a dame, nothin' in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
We feel restless, we feel blue, we feel lonely and in grief
We feel every kind of feeling but the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding Hood
What don't we feel, we don't feel good
Lots of things in life are beautiful but - brother
There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever
In any way, shape or form like any other
There is nothing like a dame, nothin' in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame
Nothin' else is built the same, nothin' in the world
As a soft and wavy frame, like the silhouette of a dame
There is absolutely nothin' like the frame - of - a - dame...
There are no books like a dame, and nothin' looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame, nothin' thinks like a dame
Nothin' acts like a dame, or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing that's cloned with any man here
That can't be good by putting them near
And they want a big, thin and feminine dame...
