The Navy Gets The Gravy But The Army Gets The Beans

In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake

They have fancy cooks who know what cookin' means

In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess

Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans

(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a salami to your boy in the army

Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans

(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Navy service is ideal, printed menus every meal

And they decorate your plate with parsley greens

In the Army, we get chow that you wouldn't feed a Chow

Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the

Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans (beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a baloney, 'cause I'm skinny and boney

Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans

(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

(Nothing but beans)

Loving those beans, huggin' those beans

Know what It means, mommy, I love ya

Nothing but beans

(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Oh, it seems bell-bottomed pants are conducive to romance

They are wined and dined and loved by movie queens

But you wear a khaki frame, and you get a wacky dame

Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans

(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

It is only the beans

You can grab a marine, and you show him a bean

He says, what does it mean, that I never have seen

So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify

So I say to you, why do we got to have beans?

(Beans)

Multiple beans, tropical beans, succulent beans

Nothing but beans, beans

Nothing but beans
