Eat it Up; the Navy can't wait
'been lower than a grass root
I was ground up and dappled
Like pepper on a salad
Till my daddy threw me fruit
He’d croon up to our rooms
‘Now hear this; ‘Now hear this'
‘Sweepers man your brooms
‘Clean sweep down fore and aft’
[Twheeee ieee wheet]
‘Clean sweep down before we eat!’
This is so good that
This is so good that the
The Navy eats it.....
Aye aye, the Navy eats it up
I am tired from aches and pains
I been chippin’ paint all morn’
Hidin’ my chaw in my cheek
Twelve bells swells o’er the horn :
I spit my plug in the leak...
Yeah I spat t’bacco tar
To stop the leakin' thar'...
'til I return in a hour,
This is so bad that
This is so bad...
This is so bad that it’s good
So good, the Navy eats it...
Yeah, eat up Navy food...
This is so bad...
This is so bad that it’s good
So good, the Navy eats it...
Yeah, eat up Navy food...
We do--
The entire floatin’ Navy
At twelve noon, eats it up!
It keeps us all afloat
How we care for our boat
We steam to Tuscany and
We visit the China Sea
At twelve noon, eats it up!
It keeps us all afloat
How we care for our boat
We steam to Tuscany and
We visit the China Sea
But what keeps us on our feet
Is three squares a day we eat
Is three squares a day we eat
Eat up old boy
Eat up skulduggery
Scrape and grind; repeat ten times
Fix the hull 'n plug her ye’
Eat up skulduggery
Scrape and grind; repeat ten times
Fix the hull 'n plug her ye’
but at high noon clean your plate
Eat up and clean your plate
Eat up and clean your plate
The Navy cannot wait!
