GETTIN’ LETTERS
When you’re far away from home an’ you’re feelin’ kind o’ blue,
When the world is topsy turvy, nothin’ sets jest right fer you,
Yuh can sneer at all yer troubles, an’ yer cares yuh never mind,
When you’ve really had a letter from the Girl yuh left behind.
When the cook is downright nutty, an’ his biskits never raise,
When he feeds yuh canned tomatoes fer jes’ seventeen straight days,
Yuh can quite fergit he’s nutty, yuh can treat him fairly kind,
If you’ve really had a letter from the Girl yuh left behind.
When the Captain’s got a grouch on, an’ has bawled yuh out fer fair,
