🎶 Who's that whisperin' in the trees?
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? Yes I am

...You got me in a sway
And I want to swing your dove
Now you sailors know where
Your women come for love!

Zoot Suit Riot, throw back a bottle of beer... 🎶

Another entry comes from the Fat Lady Who Sings When It's Over:

🎵 I spoke last night to the ocean
I spoke last night to the sea
And from the ocean a voice came back
'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me

Ship ahoy
Ship ahoy
I can hear you, Sailor Boy... 🎵

Before television was permitted to run 24 hours a day, at the end of each broadcasting day all stations would play Kate Smith's "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin, and then the Star Spangled Banner. Good ole days.
