Daddy was a sailor
Joined the Navy, see the world
Daddy was a sailor
Boy he liked the pretty girls
Taught me how to dance
Taught me that jitterbug groove
Taught me all about romance
My daddy taught me how to move
Daddy was a lover
Traveled all around the world
Daddy was a lover
Boy he liked the pretty girls
Taught me how to cuss
Some folks didn't approve
Taught me how to fight and fuss
My daddy taught me how to move
Daddy wasn't always home that much
But somehow he managed to keep in touch
Yes, he sent me a hula girl postcard from Hawaii he did
Well that was just enough for that six year old kid
Well I never joined the Navy
But you know I've been around the world
Something that he gave me
Pleases all the little girls
Move a little closer baby
Please say yes, no don't say maybe
The time right yes it feels good tonight
I really think we're gonna move
I really think we're gonna move
