[MOLLY]
I'm an old salt

[KATY]
I'm a young salt

[KATY AND MOLLY]
In the Navy we've been working very hard

[MOLLY]
I was part of the Flotilla with Dewey in Manila

[KATY]
I'm a new recruit at the Brooklyn Navy yard

[KATY AND MOLLY]
Tonight we're on a spree and feeling flow'ry
We've got a date with gals and drink and food

[KATY]
Across the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Bow'ry

[MOLLY]
And I'm gonna get the kid tattooed

[KATY]
Tattooed?
[MOLLY]
Tattooed!

[KATY AND MOLLY]
A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed

[MOLLY]
Here's an anchor from a tanker
That I sailed upon when first I went to sea
Here's another of my mother
Takes me back to when I sat upon her knee
Here's a crimson heart with a Cupid's dart
Hеre's a Battle Cruiser and whеn I sit down
On that, too
There's a tattoo
Of my home town

[KATY]
To the Bow'ry

[MOLLY]
To the Bow'ry

[KATY]
'Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and I'm just in the mood
[MOLLY]
He'll be filled with diff'rent mixtures
And covered up with pictures

[KATY]
I can't wait to be, 'twill be great to be tattooed

[MOLLY]
Tattooed?

[KATY]
Tattooed!

[KATY AND MOLLY]
A sailor's not a sailor 'til a sailor's been tattooed
