It's a man's life living in West Virginia.   It can take a chisel and stick it in ya.   They say they grow   The world's finest tobaccos.   I say they're wacko - totally mad!   He had a no-good job   He had this Vietnamese wife.   He had the law in his yard   He lived this trailer-camp life.   He re-invented himself   He had the Lord on his side.   He re-invented himself   He took himself for a ride.      Life in the navy suits a man fine!   Life in the navy   Gonna make the world mine.   Life in the navy the American way:   Life in the navy blowing arabs away.      Hold on sailor, sit down sailor   Don't waste your breath!   Hup! Two! Three! Four!   Floating on a boat   Along the line of death.       The Libyan genie grants your every wish:   He's waiting for you - with the fish!   Plays the mad dog in the T.V. drama,   Likes to wear a uniform   Like the dalai lama.      Life in the navy can make you go blind.   Life in the navy for a nation of swine.   You should have seen for yourself   Given gum to the kids:   He don't feel proud anymore   About the things that he did.      Hold on sailor, sit down sailor   Don't waste your breath!   Hup! Two! Three! Four!   Floating on a boat   Along the line of death.          Things move quicker   And your blood runs thick   Along the line of death.
