There Is Nothin Like A Dame Lyrics - Singles - South Pacific

Sailors, Seabees and Marines: 

We got sunlight on the sand, 

We got moonlight on the sea, 

We got mangoes and bananas 

You can pick right off the tree, 

We got volleyball and ping-pong 

And a lot of dandy games! 

What ain't we got? 

We ain't got dames! 

We get packages from home, 

We get movies, we get shows, 

We get speeches from our skipper 

And advice from Tokyo Rose, 

We get letters doused with perfume 

We get dizzy from the smell! 

What don't we get? 

You know darn well! 

We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for 

What we need is what there ain't no substitute for... 

There is nothin' like a dame, 

Nothin' in the world, 

There is nothin' you can name 

That is anythin' like a dame! 

We feel restless, we feel blue, 

We feel lonely and in grief, 

We feel ev'ry kind of feelin', 

But the feelin' of relief 

We feel hungry as the wolf felt 

When he met Red Hiding-hood 

What don't we feel? 

We don't feel good! 

Lots of things in life are beautiful, but brother, 

There is one particular thing that is nothin' whatsoever 

In any way, shape or form like any other. 

There is nothin' like a dame, 

Nothin' in the world, 

There is nothin' you can name 

That is anythin' like a dame! 

Nothin' else was built the same, 

Nothin' in the world 

As the soft and wavy frame 

Like the silhouette of a dame! 

There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame. 

So suppose that dame ain't bright 

Or completely free from flaws, 

Or as faithful as a bird dog, 

Or as kind as Santa Claus, 

It's a waste of time to worry 

Over things that they have not, 

Be thankful for the things they got! 

There is nothin' you can name 

That is anythin' like a dame! 

There are no books like a dame, 

And nothin' looks like a dame. 

There are no drinks like a dame, 

And nothin' thinks like a dame, 

Nothin' acts like a dame, 

Or attracts like a dame. 

There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here 

That can't be cured by pullin' him near 

A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!
