CINDY, O CINDY
(Robert Nemiroff and Burt D'Lugoff/V)

[Intro]
La, la-la, la-la, lie
La, la-la, la-la, lie

[Verse 1]
I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

[Chorus]
Cindy, oh, Cindy
Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
La, la-la, la-la, lie

[Verse 2]
I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out for me
Through calm and stormy seas
At night I pace the lonely deck
Caressed by memories

[Chorus]
Cindy, oh, Cindy
Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
La, la-la, la-la, lie

[Verse 3]
I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the decks alone
Her loving arms reach out for me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailing days will be over
No more will I roam

[Chorus]
Cindy, oh, Cindy
Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
La, la-la, la-la, lie

[Outro]
La, la-la, la-la, lie
