There Is Nothin' Like A Dame

(album: Dee Does Broadway - 2010)

We got sunlight on the sand, we got moonlight on the sea
We got mangoes and bananas you can pick right off a tree
We got volleyball and ping-pong and a lot o' dandy games
What ain't we got, we ain't got dames

We get packages from home, we get movies, we get shows
We get speeches from our skipper and advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused with perfume, we get dizzy from the smell
What don't we get, you know darn well

We have nothing to put on a clean white-suit for
What we need is what there ain't no substitute for

There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame

We feel restless, we feel blue, we feel lonely and in grief
We feel every kind of feeling but the feeling of relief
We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding Hood
What don't we feel, we don't feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but brother
There is one particular thing that is not like any other

There is nothing like a dame, nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name that is anything like a dame

Nothing else was built the same, nothing in the world
As a soft and wavy frame, like the silhouette of a dame

So suppose that dame and bride are completely free from flaws
Or as faithful as a bird dog, or as kind as Santa Claus
It's a waste of time to worry over things that they have not
We're thankful for the things they got

There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a dame

There are no books like a dame
And nothing looks like a dame
There are no drinks like a dame
Nothing thinks like a dame
Nothing acts like a dame
Or attracts like a dame

There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here
That can't be cured by pulling him near
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
