Nana Agatha's "Dinghy" Song
(a.k.a. "The Dinghy Song" by Ruth Wallis)

Sailing, sailing, over the ocean blue
My Davey's got a dinghy
So he paddles his own canoe.

He's got the cutest little dinghy in the navy
And all the girlies know that its so.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy
They love to watch him go -- Heave Ho (You know it!)
Now just for a lark, he went and painted it green
It's the only green dinghy that the girls have ever seen.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy -- Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

Now all the sailors take their girls canoeing,
It's an old, old, navy technique.
But Davey gets more girlies with his dinghy,
And what is worse, it never springs a leak.
Now every time it rains, his little dingy gets wet,
But Davey says it's waterproof, so he doesn't fret.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

To keep it from the girlies, Davey says it's very hard
It isn't even safe down at the Navy Yard.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

It isn't very narrow; it isn't very wide,
But you should see that thing
Go in and out with the tide.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

Now it isn't very long
And it isn't very short,
It's build for speedy action and it gets them into port.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

Now the Admiral has a flag ship,
The captain's got a cruiser
But Davey's got a dinghy -- it's a lolly palooza!
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.

And the old Admiral was heard to say
If he had Davey's dinghy
He would always feel springy,
He'd ride the waves night and day.
The cutest little dinghy in the navy - Heave Ho, Heave Ho.
