Charted: 1979 Peaked at #3 Casablanca -- 973 From the album "Go West" B-Side "Manhattan Woman"
Where can you find pleasure Search the world for treasure Learn science, technology Where can you begin to make Your dreams all come true On the land or on the sea Where can you learn to fly Play in sports and skin dive Study oceanography Sign up for the big band Or sit in the grandstand When your team and others meet
Chorus: In the navy Yes, you can sail the seven seas In the navy Yes, you can put your mind at ease In the navy Come on now, people, make a stand In the navy, in the navy Can't you see we need a hand In the navy Come on, protect the mother land In the navy Come on and join your fellow man In the navy Come on people and make a stand In the navy, in the navy In the navy, in the navy
They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit
If you like adventure Don't you wait to enter The recruiting office fast Don't you hesitate There is no need to wait They're signing up new seamen fast Maybe you are too young To join up today But, don't you worry 'bout a thing For I'm sure there will be Always a good navy Protecting the land and sea
Chorus
They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit Who me They want you, they want you They want you as a new recruit
But, but, but, I'm afraid of water Hey, hey, look, man I get seasick even watchin' it on TV
They want you They want you Oh, my goodness What am I gonna do in a submarine They want you They want you in the navy
Chorus
