To a Wave -

If you’re nervous in the service and you don’t know what to do

If you’re hurried and you’re worried and you’re feelin' kind o' blue

If you’re bleary and you’re weary and you wish the war was through

Have a baby on me

If you’re tired of the regimentation

And you’d like to return to civilization

I can help you, pretty Wavey

If you’d like to leave the Navy

Have a baby on me

If you’re tired of the color that you’re wearing every day

And you’d like to dress in violet or even cruiser grey

If you’d like to leave the Waves, but you’re afraid they’ll make you stay

Have a baby on me

If you’re tired of the work you’re allotted

And you’re looking for a discharge… I've got it

You’ll be feeling like a million

And you’ll wind up a civilian

Have a baby on me

If you’re sick of all the mashers with the braid along the sleeve

If you gotta act like Garbo just to get a weekend leave

If you’re tired of the Adams who’ve decided you’re their Eve

Have a baby on me

Why bother with a two day vacation

I can get you home for the duration

You might get a bit distended

But your troubles would be ended

Have a baby on me
