Honey Baby  
circa WWII


Lift your head and hold it high, honey
Lift your head and hold it high, baby
Lift your head and hold it high
The Fifth Marines are passing by, honey, baby mine.

I don't want a B.A.R., honey
I don't want a B.A.R., baby
I don't want a B.A.R.
I'll get me a babe with a candy bar, honey, baby mine.

The Captain's got a heavy pack, honey
The Captain's got a heavy pack, baby
The Captain's got a heavy pack
Oh, Lord I hope it breaks his back, honey, baby mine.

Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, honey
Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve, baby
Don't want hashmarks on my sleeve
All I want's a ten year leave, honey, baby mine.

You don't have to call me Sarge, honey
You don't have to call me Sarge, baby
You don't have to call me Sarge
All I want's a quick discharge, honey, baby mine.

The WACS and WAVES will win the war, honey
The WACS and WAVES will win the war, baby
The WACS and WAVES will win the war
So what the heck are we marching for, honey, baby mine.

Lift your head and hold it high, honey
Lift your head and hold it high, baby
Lift your head and hold it high
The Fifth Marines are passing by, honey, baby mine.
