Lyrics

Over the sea, let's go men!
We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again
Nobody knows where or when
We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again
It may be Shanghai, farewell and goodbye
Sally and Sue, don't be blue
We'll just be gone for years and years and then
We're shovin' right off for home, shovin' right off for home
Shovin' right off for home again

Over the sea, lets go men.
We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again
Nobody knows where or when
We're sailin' away, we're sailin' away again.
From the halls of Moctezuma, To the shores of Tripoli
We will fight a raging battle-front
From Sea to Shining Sea

(repeat 1st verse)


Note: In Conrad the Sailor, the lyrics in bold were changed to "We're leavin' today, it's anchors aweigh", to fit with the Navy.
