Blue Desert
Betty Grable on the
wall keeps my cabin warm
From Casablanca down to Rio, she won't feel the storm
I only joined the fleet for places and girls I hadn't seen
I didn't think of all the lonely nights we'd spend between
Blue desert, blue
desert
I wish that I was far away from this blue desert
My only oasis is the bright harbour town
But they're just distant places and
I never know where I'm boud
Gazing out my
porthole view in hopes of sighting land
But just another blue horizon hides the burning sand
I should have stayed behind wherever the girls were good to me
Instead of turning back again to face that lonely sea
Blue desert, blue
desert
I wish that I was far away from this blue desert
My only oasis is the bright harbour town
But they're just distant places and
I never know where I'm boud
Blue desert, blue
desert
I wish that I was far away from this blue desert
My only oasis is the bright harbour town
But they're just distant places and
I never know where I'm boud
Blue desert
Blue desert
Blue desert
