Blue Desert

Betty Grable on the wall keeps my cabin warm From Casablanca down to Rio, she won't feel the storm I only joined the fleet for places and girls I hadn't see I didn't think of all the lonely nights we spend between (Chorus): Blue desert, blue desert Wish that I was far away from this blue desert My only oasis is the bright harbour town But they're just distant places and I never know where I'm bound Gazing out my porthole view in hopes of sighting land But just another blue horizon hides the burning sand I should have stayed behind wherever the girls were good to me Instead of turning back again to face that lonely sea (Repeat chorus twice) Blue desert Blue desert Blue desert Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
