-1 -1  -1    3   3   3    3
We got sun-light on the sand,
-1 -1   -1    3   3   3   3
We got moon-light on the sea,
-1 -1  -1   -3  -3  -3 -3 -3
We got man-goes and ba-na-nas
-3  -3   -1    -3  -3 -3  -3 
You can pick right off a tree,
-1 -1  -1  -4   -4  -4   -4   -4
We got vol-ley-ball and ping-pong
-4 -4 -1  -4 -4  -4   -4
And a lot of dan-dy games!
4      4   4   4
What ain't we got?
4*  -5   -2*   3
We ain't got dames!

-1 -1   -1  3  3   3    3
We get pack-a-ges from home,
-1 -1  -1   3   3   3    3
We get mov-ies, we get shows,
-1 -1    -1   -3  -3  -3   -3  -3
We get speech-es from our skip-per
-3  -3  -1   -3  -3  -3  -3 
And ad-vice from Tok-yo Rose,
-1 -1  -1  -4     -4   -4   -4   -4
We get let-ters doused with per-fume
-4 -4  -1  -4  -4  -4   -4
We get diz-zy from the smell!
4      4   4   4
What don't we get?
4*   -5   -2*   3
You know darn well!

-3    -3  -3  -3    3 -3  -4
There is noth-in' like a dame,
-1   -1  -1 -1    -1
Noth-in' in the world,
-3    -3  -3  -3   3  -3   -4
There is noth-in' you can name
4    -5 6 -5  4     -4 -3   3
That is an-y-thin' like a dame!

-1  -1   -1    3   3   3    3
We feel rest-less, we feel blue,
-1  -1   -1  3   3  3    3
We feel lone-ly and in grief,
-1  -1  -1  -3  -3  -3  -3  -3
We feel ev-'ry kind of feel-in',
-3  -3  -1   -3  -3 -3  -3 
But the feel-in' of re-lief
-1  -1  -1  -4  -4 -4   -4   -4
We feel hun-gry as the wolf felt
-4   4  -1  -4  -4  -4   -4
When he met Red Rid-ing-hood
4      4   4   4
What don't we feel?
4*  -5   -2*   3
We don't feel good!

-1    -1  -1  -1     2 -2* -1
There are no books like a dame,
-1   -1  -1    2    -2* 3  2
And noth-in' looks like a dame.
2      2  2    -2*   3  -3  -2*
There are no drinks like a dame,
-2* -2* -2*    3     -3 -4  3
And noth-in' thinks like a dame,
3    3    -3   -4  4  -3
Noth-in' acts like a dame,
-3 -3   -4     4 -5  -4
Or at-tracts like a dame.
-4      -4 -4   4     -3     4
There ain't a thing that's wrong 
-3   4  4 -3    4
with an-y man here
4      4*  -3   4*  -3  4*  4*  -3   4*
That can't be cured by put-tin' him near
4* -5 -5  -5  -5 -5  -5  -5
A girl-y, wom-an-ly, fe-male, 
-5  -5 -5    7
Fem-in-ine dame!
