Nothing Like A Dame

• G

G 
We got sunlight on the sand, 
We got moonlight on the sea, 
D 
We got mangoes and bananas 
You can pick right off the tree, 
G 
We got volleyball and ping-pong 
And a lot of dandy games! 
C 
What ain't we got? 
D              F#   G 
We ain't got dames! 

G 
We get packages from home, 
We get movies, we get shows, 
D 
We get speeches from our skipper 
And advice from Tokyo Rose, 
G 
We get letters doused with perfume 
We get dizzy from the smell! 
C 
What don't we get? 
D                F#     G 
You know darn well! 

B7                                                                     C 
We have nothin' to put on a clean white suit for 
A7 
What we need is what there ain't no  
           G                           D 
substitute for... 

                                        G 
There is nothin' like a dame, 
D                        G                  D 
Nothin' in the world, 
                                            G 
There is nothin' you can name 
C                                     G 
That is anythin' like a dame! 

We feel restless, we feel blue, 
We feel lonely, and in brief, 
We feel ev'ry kind of feelin', 
But the feelin' of relief 
We feel hungry as the wolf felt 
When he met Red Hiding-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 nothin' whatsoever 
In any way, shape or form like any other. 

There is nothin' like a dame, 
Nothin' in the world, 
There is nothin' you can name 
That is anythin' like a dame! 

E                                                 A                   E 
….Nothin' else was built the same, 
                          A                      E 
Nothin' in the world 
                                       A 
As the soft and wavy frame 
D 
Like the silhouette of a dame! 

E7 
There is absolutely nothin' like a frame of a dame. 

G…. 
So suppose a dame ain't bright 
Or 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 nothin' you can name 
That is anythin' like a dame! 

G 
There are no books like a dame, 
A7 
And nothin' looks like a dame. 
B7 
There are no drinks like a dame, 
C 
And nothin' thinks like a dame, 
D7 
Nothin' acts like a dame, 
E7 
Or attracts like a dame. 
D7 
There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here 
          A7 
That can't be cured by putting him near 
D 
A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame!
