 OutC in thAe PacifDic, theyG say hF♯e was the Ebest,

 Now heA's in his civvies, headin' hDome like all the rest.

 He'lGl never foDrget C♯Rosa GLeeE, G

 Or sGleepless nights he fCought Gupon theC sea.

 He'll Conly have Athe memoDries, or Ggreat bookF♯s by JamesE Jones,

 'Cause Athey're sending theD old man homGe.

 FarCaway... FarGaway... AnotheAr life so very far aDway.

They'll tear down the officer's clubs,

And write off the overdue subs,

So let's drink to their memories, our heroes, and our pals,

To those crazy Navy fliers, to those swell Hawaiian gals.

The sailors will dance in the street,

Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet,

We'll only have the picture books,

Of land, and sea, and foam,

'Cause they're sending the old man home.

 HCodae'll only have his memories, or great books by James Jones,

'Cause they're sending the old man home.

[This is a beginner's arrangement, so it is probably full of

errors, but the lyrics are correct. It is a great ballad though...]
