SONG of the SEABEES

seabeememorial


Seabee Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery Words by Sam M. Lewis Music by Peter de Rose


WE'RE THE SEABEES OF THE NAVY
 WE CAN BUILD AND WE CAN FIGHT
 WE'LL PAVE OUR WAY TO VICTORY
 AND GUARD IT DAY AND NIGHT
 AND WE PROMISE THAT WE'LL REMEMBER
 THE SEVENTH OF DECEMBER

 WE'RE THE SEABEES OF THE NAVY
 BEES OF THE SEVEN SEAS

 THE NAVY WANTED MEN
 THAT'S WHERE WE CAME IN
 MISTER BROWN AND MISTER JONES
 THE OWENS, COHENS, AND FLYNN
 THE NAVY WANTED MORE
 OF UNCLE SAMMY'S KIN
 SO WE ALL JOINED UP
 AND BROTHER WE'RE IN TO WIN
