I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright! Was the day off the boats For the fellas in coats in the Navy They'd be all around Change the face of this town 'cause they're lazy 1952 was the year that I lost you I was with the soldiers in the school hall Didn't know that you were ill You didn't seem old I'm alright!

I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alright!
