The Navy Gets the Gravy But the Army Gets the Beans (From "At War with the Army")

In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cookin' means
In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a salami to your boy in the army
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Navy service is ideal, printed menus every meal
And they decorate your plate with parsley greens
In the Army, we get chow that you wouldn't feed a Chow
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans (beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a baloney, 'cause I'm skinny and boney
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
(Nothing but beans)

Loving those beans, huggin' those beans
Know what It means, mommy, I love ya
Nothing but beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Oh, it seems bell-bottomed pants are conducive to romance
They are wined and dined and loved by movie queens
But you wear a khaki frame, and you get a wacky dame
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(Beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

It is only the beans
You can grab a marine, and you show him a bean
He says, what does it mean, that I never have seen
So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify
So I say to you, why do we got to have beans?

(Beans)
Multiple beans, tropical beans, succulent beans
Nothing but beans, beans
Nothing but beans
