where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure, learn science technology?
where can you begin to make your dreams all come true on the land or on the sea?
where can you learn to fly, play in sports or skindive, study oceanography?
sign up for the big band or sit in the grandstand when your team and others meet.

chorus
in the navy, you can sail the seven seas
in the navy, you can put your mind at ease
in the navy, come on now people, make a stand
in the navy, can't you see we need a hand?
in the navy, come protect the mother land
in the navy, come on and join your fellow man
in the navy, come on people make a stand
inthe navy, in the navy

they want you! they want you! they want you as a new recruit!

if you like adventure, don't you wait to enter, the recruiting office fast
don't you hesitate, there is no need to wait, they're signing up new seamen fast
maybe you are too young to sign up today, but don't you worry 'bout a thing
for i'm sure there will always be a good navy, protecting the land and sea

chorus

they want you! they want you! they want you as a new recruit! x2

...but, but i'm afraid of water

they want you! - oh my goodness

they want you! they want you!
in the navy
