There Is Nothin' Like a Dame

Lyrics
We got sunlight on the sand
We got moonlight on the sea
We got mangoes and bananas
You can pick right off the tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of 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 have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for
There is nothin' like a dame
Nothin' in the world
There is nothin' 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 a 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 thing that is not like any other
There is nothin' like a dame
Nothin' in the world
There is nothin' you can name
That is anything like a dame
Nothin' else is built the same
Nothin' in the world
Has a soft and wavy frame
Like the silhouette of a dame
There is absolutely nothin' like the frame of a dame
So suppose a dame ain't right
Or completely free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird dog
Or as kind as Santy Claus
It's a waste of time to worry over
Things that they have not
Be thankful for the things they got
For a man can't be a man without a female
And the things are few that you can do with female
There is nothin' like a dame
Nothin' in the world
There is nothin' you can name
That is anything like a dame
There are no books like a dame
And nothin' looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
And nothin' thinks like a dame
And nothin' acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by puttin' him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
