Sailor’s Not A Sailor (Til A Sailor’s Been Tattooed)

Lyrics

[MOLLY] I'm an old salt [KATY] I'm a young salt [KATY AND MOLLY] In the Navy we've been working very hard [MOLLY] I was part of the Flotilla with Dewey in Manila [KATY] I'm a new recruit at the Brooklyn Navy yard [KATY AND MOLLY] Tonight we're on a spree and feeling flow'ry We've got a date with gals and drink and food [KATY] Across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Bow'ry [MOLLY] And I'm gonna get the kid tattooed [KATY] Tattooed? [MOLLY] Tattooed! [KATY AND MOLLY] A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed [MOLLY] Here's an anchor from a tanker That I sailed upon when first I went to sea Here's another of my mother Takes me back to when I sat upon her knee Here's a crimson heart with a Cupid's dart Hеre's a Battle Cruiser and whеn I sit down On that, too There's a tattoo Of my home town [KATY] To the Bow'ry [MOLLY] To the Bow'ry [KATY] 'Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm just in the mood [MOLLY] He'll be filled with diff'rent mixtures And covered up with pictures [KATY] I can't wait to be, 'twill be great to be tattooed [MOLLY] Tattooed? [KATY] Tattooed! [KATY AND MOLLY] A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed
