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)
