There Is Nothin' Like a Dame - Danny Kaye

We’ve got sunlight on the sand

We’ve got moonlight on the sea

We’ve got mangos and bananas you can pick right off the tree

We’ve got volleyball and ping pong and a lot of dandy games

What aint we got?

We ain’t got dames

We get packages from home

We get movies, we get shows

We get speeches from our skippers

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 got nothing to put on a clean white suit for

(no clean white suit)

What we need there is no substitute for

(no substitute at all)

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

Well if your hungry as a 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 brothers

(oh my brother)

There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever in any shape or form

like any other

(and I like that shape… of thing)

There is nothing like a dame nothing in the world

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

Nothing else is built the same nothing in the world,

Has the soft and wavy frame like the silhouette of a dame

I said there is 'there is' there’s nothing 'there's nothing' there’s absolutely

nothing 'absolutely nothing'

Said there is nothing like a frame 'of a dame'

So suppose a dame ain’t bright or completely free from flaws

or as faithful as a bird dog or as kind as santa clause

Its a waste of time to worry over things that they have not

Be thankful for the things they’ve got

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

There are no books like a dame, nothing looks like a dame

There are no drinks like a dame and nothing thinks like a dame

Nothing acts like a dame or attracts like a dame

There ain’t a thing thats wrong with any man here

That can’t be cured by putting him near

A girly womanly female feminine dame'

Funky disco chicken

There is nothing like a disco
