Anchors Away - We hate To Leave |
| We hate to leave |
| But when they give you leave, you gotta leave |
| Oh our hearts bleed for all you guys aboard |
| But right now sympathy is a thing we can’t afford |
| We hate to leave, we hate to leave |
| Without you guys along, we’ll even grieve |
| But we’ll be back, yes, we’ll be back |
| Before we’re even missed |
| And tell you guys about the gals out there that we have kissed |
| We’ll even say, we’ll even say |
| We really hate to leave |
| (You know, Clarence, I hate the thought of going ashore,) |
| (And leave these guys here sitting in their undershirts) |
| (We gotta meet all those beautiful dames in their soft silk dresses,) |
| (But duty is duty, and an order is an order) |
| (Now I know some guys get a thrill out of meeting) |
| (A gorgeous gal every night.) |
| Oh, we hate to leave, we hate to leave |
| But when they give you leave, you gotta leave |
| No more pin-up gals that we so enjoy |
| Tonight, my boy, we get to meet the real McCoy |
| We hate to leave, we hate to leave |
| But we’ll be back before the night is here |
| We want to stay, we want to stay |
| Our hearts are with the ship |
| But the Admiral made us take this leave |
| Or he’ll beat us with a whip |
| We’d rather stay, we’d rather stay |
| Oh we really hate to leave |
