Swingin' on a Star
(Tune: Swinging On A Star)
Would you like to swing on a star
Ferry AT's home from afar,
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a WAC?
A WAC may be an officer with bright bars than shine
Her olive green and everything looks fine,
She's very proud of the name she bears,
As for you, you don't want her cares,
Her olive green was never meant for you,
You want the Santiago Blue!
Would you like to loop 'round a star
Ferry AT's home from afar
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a WAVE?
A WAVE may be an ensign or a seaman first class,
Her uniform of Navy blue will pass,
As the Navy says her weight in gold she's worth,
But who would want to be confined to earth,
As for you, she can keep all of those things,You'd rather have your silver wings.
You made a choice and carried it through,
You've got your wings and your Santiago Blue--So now that all your training is through
You will be flying near and far,And truly swinging on a star!
