He merely sails the sea!
He visits Fort McKinley, And Cavite, too; Now, where Beans has not been, forsooth, I wish I only knew. I know that all the sailors, And all the soldier men Do call him "Beans," and love him For he is their dandy friend. He wags his tail in greeting, And barks at friends with joy; But when his ship's a-sailing, For Beans, it's Ship-A-hoy! So here's to "Beans" old "Sea-dog," Who loves so well to roam; I wish he'd try to settle down And make our place his home. ADVICE Better start in soldiering and mind your P's and Q's, Cut out going absent and ease up on the booze, Don't kick because, you're on fatigue, but mind what you are about, For the Summary Court will get you |
