In the year of '42
The wolves were in the chicken coop
Seasoned vet'ran of '43
Had to pay an entry fee
Gathered in the moonlight
At a quarter to midnight
For another tour at sea
Inside that dreadful machine
We will do our part (we cross our heart)
With brevity and courage (and hope to die)
Strewn so far apart
On the bottom of that rolling sea
By the end of 1944
Many wrecks lay on the sea floor
By the grace of 1945
One in four of us were left alive
All the guages were broken
By tremendous explosions
So close to implosion
The needle just crossed the red line
But in our hearts (but in our hearts)
Brevity and courage (so far from home)
Will keep us steady
On the bottom of that rolling sea
