Thread Name: Popeye's Theme Music
Subject: RE: Popeye's Theme Music (Hornpipe Lyrics)
I first learned these lyrics at Navy boot camp (Great Lakes, where else?)
as a member of the Recruit Performance Company (Triple Threat)

Bluejacket's Hornpipe

I'm a Navy Man, and I'm proud as can be,
I'm a Navy Man, and I sail upon the sea.
Wherever there's commotion,
I am there to guard the ocean,
I am glad that I was born to be a Navy man.
I will never envy soldiers stationed at a fort,
For I'd rather have a girfriend waiting at each port.
Ship Ahoy! Great Lakes(*) has made me proud to be a Navy Man,
I'm glad that I was born to be a Navy Man!

* Insert ship or command name here.
