2 - to the tune of "tourelal"
the sexual life of the camel
is stranger than anyone thinks
in moments of amorous passion
he often makes love to the sphinx
but the sphinx's posterior orifice
is clogged by the sands of the nile
which accounts for the hum on the camel
and the sphinx's inscruttjblb smile

once there was a maiden who lived in cherry lane
her master was so kind to her, her mistress was the same
then along came a sailor right back from sea
and he was the cause of all. her misery
chorus
wearing a zoot suit, a parachute and wings of goldei hjb,
he'll fly the airplane like his daddy use to do
he asked her for a pillow to lay his weary head
he asked her for a candle to light his way to bed
and the foolish little maiden thinking it no harm
jumped into bed to keep the sailor warm
chorus
early in the morning when he got out of bed, .
he handed her a five pound note and this is what he said
you may have a daughter, you may have a son,
but if you are lucky, you'll have neither one
if you have a daughter, bounce her on your knee,
but if you have a son, send the bastard out to sea
chorus
now the moral of the story is as plain as you can see,
never trust a sailor an inch above your knee*
chorus
k - evening moonlight

unlowered shall those colors be whatever fate they meet
so glorious in victory — triumphant in defeat

t'was a cold winters evening, the guests were all leaving,
o'leary was closing the bar, when he turned "round and said
to the lady in red. ♦"get out, you can't sleep where you are"
she shed a sad tear in her bucket of beer
as she thought of the cold night ahead,
when.*..a gentleman dapper stepped out of the phone booth
and these are the words that he said**.
"her mother never told her the things a young girl should know
about the ways of navy men and how they come and they go,
now age has taken her beauty...and sin has left a sad scar***
but remember your mother and sisters boys
and let her sleep under the bar"

from that gosh darn dummy
than I ever got from you
31 - sweetheart of sigma chi
i want to wed and be carried to bed
in the arms of the man I love

so handsome and tall
who tried to take off with no flaps at all
chorus
no flaps at all, no flaps at all
wide open throttle, but no flaps at all
he went to his "u" bird to look at his load
two napalm with wing bombs about all it would hold
he said to himself "i've got lots on the ball"
i'm sure I can take off with no flaps at all."
chorus
he moved his plane out to the end of the strip
u,000 foot runway with never a dip
he checked with the tower and heard the voice drawl
no wind, you can't take off with no flaps at all
chorus
our hero was cocky, his ego was hurt
for what was the word of an ignorant squirt
"he's probably an ensign, knows nothing at all
I know I can take off with no flaps at all"
chorus
he poured on the throttel and lined up with care
gave the flap handle an arrogant glare
then on the radio we heard him call
mayday one junk heap with no flaps at all
chorus

31* - the foggy foggy dew
i was a bachelor, I lived all alone, and worked at the weavers
trade,
and the only, only thing that I ever did wrong, was to woo a
fair young maid.
i wooed her in the winter time and in the summer too
and the only, only thing that I ever did wrong, was to keep ffir
from the foggy foggy dew.
one night she nealt by the side of my bed wile I was fast asleep
she laid her head upon my bed and there began to weep
she wept, she cried, she dammed near died, but what was I to do?
I took her into bed and covered up her head, just to keep her
from the foggy foggy dew.
again I am a bachelor, I live with my son and we work at the
weavers trade
and every time that I look into his eyes, he reminds me
of the fair young maid.
he reminds me of the winter time, and part of the summer too,
and the manny, many times that I took her into bed
just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew.
