[Chorus]
Kiss me, sailor
Before you go out the door
Well now, bye bye sailor boy
'Cause it's anchors away once more
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm his girl back home
And on a weekend leave

But pretty soon the weekends though
[Chorus]
And then it's
Kiss me, sailor
Before you go out the door

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Kiss me, sailor
Before you go out the door
Woah woah, bye bye sailor boy
'Cause it's anchors away once more

My favorite guy is due
I just can't wait to see him in his Navy blue
As soon as he opens that door
I'll be in his arms once more
[Chorus]
Until it's
Kiss me, sailor
Before you go out the door
Woah woah, bye bye sailor boy
'Cause it's anchors away once more
[Outro]
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)
Aahh
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)
Aahh
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)...
