Ship’s Song
USS Gatling DD-671
Words by Jack Dolph, Music by Fred Waring
Sung to the tune of "The Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech"
Sheee’s the Rattlin’,
Battlin’, Gatling and she’ rolling out to sea.
You can bet your life she’s headed where the trouble's sure to be.
She’s the Rootin’est, Tootin’est, Shootin’est ship that you ever did see,
Sheee’s the Rattlin’, Battlin’, Gatling of the Naaaaaa--vy.
Just give her a spot
that’s good and hot and give her a job to do,
Oh she’ll blows ‘em down and look around for more when she is through.
Sheeee’s the idol of her skipper and the sweetheart of her crew,
She’s the Rattlin’, Battlin’, Gatling of the Naaaaaa--vy.
