We're Not Dressing

We've sailed to every shore

from here to Singapore

But we've never, never

never seen a mermaid

We've sailed the Seven Seas

Seen a million different shes

But we've never, never

never seen a mermaid

It's a lie

It's a lie

Ship ahoy, ship ahey

ship ahigh

We dream while we're asleep

that we're 80 fathoms deep

But we've never, never

never seen a mermaid

A sailor can't be true

to any one gal

He's a cheatin'

son of the sea

A sailor can't be true

to any one gal

A sailor man

must have variety

[n every port you leave

behind a heartache inside

And always give 'em somethin'

to remember you by

But I'm a man that

could be true to one gal

If she's

the right gal for me

It's a lie

It's a lie

Ship ahoy, ship ahey

ship ahigh

We've sailed to Timbuktu

Valparaiso and Peru

But we've never, never

never seen a mermaid

I've been a sea dog

since I was in me prime.

- A seafaring man since B.C.

- B.C.?

Yeah, B.C. Before

''Come up and see me sometime.''

It's a lie

It's a lie

Ship ahoy, ship ahey

ship ahigh

We dream while we're asleep

that we're 80 fathoms deep

But we've never, never

- Come on, Doris! You're in the next hand.

Oh, here's a cocktail we've

never tried. A Yellow Parrot.

Ship ahoy, ship ahey

ship ahigh Who wants one?

We dream while we're asleep that we're

80 fathoms deep Hmm. A Yellow Parrot.

But we've never, never

never seen a mermaid

A Yellow Parrot.

Let's see.

Gin, orangejuice,

cointreau, cherries.

Hmm. Gin.

Well, I don't think I'll

trouble with the orange juice.

There's very little to be

gained from orange juice.

It says brandy here.

This is confusing.

Well... brandy.

What on Earth are you cooking? Ha-ha!

It's too weak.

Aaah!

Ohhhhhhh.

Nights in Havana

are warm and delicious

They make trusting hearts

a bit too ambitious

The sway of the palms

makes a girl so pernicious

A tra-la-la

la-la-la-la-la

The men are all sheiks

and they use a new system

So, girlies, be careful

and learn to resist 'em

They'll fill you with bull

and after you've kissed 'em

They'll leave you flat on the

spot Ah-ha-ha, but for what

Ahh, for tra-la-la

la-la-la-la-la, ohh

If some caballero

takes off his sombrero

You better take care-o

watch out and beware-o

For it's just

a new Spanish custom

If some sweet bambino

says you are his queen-o

Then in some casino

he fills you with vino

Oh, it's just

a new Spanish custom

If he starts acting

too haughty-o

Ah,just kick him

right in the patio

If he starts to pet-o

I warn you no let-o

If he sings ''I love you''

he's singing falsetto

For it's just

a new Spanish custom

If you're so interested

in that sailor,

why don't you have him up here

and take him apart? What sailor?

Oh, not the one

you stare at, of course.

I do not stare at him.

I've hardly noticed him.

Then, uh, why have you been

picking on him the whole voyage?

Come along, Doris. I've cut

for you, and we're partners.

- Oh, Michael, would you mind getting me a highball?

- Oh, certainly.

Isn't he gorgeous?

In fact, they're both gorgeous. Yeah.

I don't wonder you have so much

trouble choosing between them.

What are you butting into

this for? Me butting in?

Hmph! I like that. I

found her first, didn't I?

Didn't she ask me to get her this drink?

You don't do as well with women as I do.

You've always got your cut, haven't

you? I proposed to her first.

You're making a big mistake. Lay off.

We three could be

very happy together.

I wish you'd hurry up and take.

I'm simply dithering with envy.

But why, darling? Because I'm gonna

take the one that's left, that's why.

You are? Are you sure

you can afford it?

I do hope I haven't

made it too strong.

Why, Michael,

how can you say that?

Whatever touches

those lips turns to honey.

Aren't they divine?

They're positively sinful.

Sinful is right. They're

positively a crime against nature.

Here's your baby, nursemaid.

She's cryin' for ya.

Oh, hello, Droopy.

She probably wants her

whiskers combed. Sing to her.

Come on, Steve.

Sing something.

Oh, no, not me. You know

how funny she is about music.

Oh, come on! That's all

right. I'll hold her for ya.

Okay.

I'll sing about

the birds and bees

The pretty flowers

and the trees

The moon, the sun

the summery breeze

Hooray

I'll even go to town

With ''London Bridge

Is Falling Down''

But I positively

refuse to sing

Don't know why

There's no sun

up in the sky

Stormy weather

Since my gal and I

ain't together

['ll sing about

the night we met

And about to remember

or forget

The grass is green

The dew is wet and say

I'll yodel

Night and day

''On the Road to Mandalay''

But I positively

refuse to sing

Who's Afraid of

the Big Bad Wolf-a

''When Annie Doesn't

Live Here Anymore''

I'll take

a heartbreak

I'll even end my song with

a ''hey-hey'' or a ''Yeah, man''

I'll sing about

the cabin door

The fields of corn

The Swanee shore

Let it rain

Let it pour

What's more

A cottage

warm and cozy

Or a

Ring-Around-the-Rosy

But I positively

refuse to sing

''['m Headin'for

That Last Roundup''

Get along, little doggie

Get along

Good night

lovely little lady

I must say adieu

To you

And your loveliness

The owner wants to see

you on the upper deck.

Who, me?

At once.

Evening, ma'am.

Good evening.

When I chose you

to take care of Droopy,

I did so because I believed you were

a steady and trustworthy young man.

Yes, ma'am? But when I see you wrestling the

poor creature all over the deck, I believe-

I wasn't wrestling with her.

Why, I saw you.

She was wrestling with me.

Are you being impertinent?

No, no, ma'am. You see,

Droopy only likes one song,

and whenever I sing anything else,

she just naturally ups and throws me.

What's your name?

Stephen, ma'am.

Stephen what?

Just call me Stephen.

I suppose you have a

second name. Oh, yes, ma'am.

Where did you learn to sing?

Oh, I-I just sort of sing.

You sing quite well.

Thank you.

Will you sing

something for us?

Well, if you don't mind,

['d rather not.

We could tie Droopy up.

Just the same,

I- I don't think-

We don't expect you to amuse us for

nothing, my man. He doesn't want your money.

Come on, sailor. Well, I don't know. I-

Of course he will.

Pardon me, darling.

Why does my heart

pound like a hammer

Why do I start

to stutter and stammer

When I'm near

the one I adore

The girl I love

Why is it I'm

the silliest person

Spend all my time

and keep on rehearsin'

A love song

She knows nothing of

[f [ were sure that

[ meant anything to her

I'd be brave

And here's the song

I'd bring to her

I'd sing to her

May I

Be the only one

to say I

Really fell in love

the day I

First set eyes on you

May I

With your

very kind permissin

Tell you that

my one ambition

Is to share a love

affair with you

Here I wait

Do give me my chance

Do tell me my fate

What is your answer

May I

Hold you to my heart

and pray I

Will be there beside you

when they groom and bride you
