To: Hemingway's Ghost

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.

Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.

Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,

Until we meet once more. Here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.

Here's how we learned it:

Sail, Navy down the field
Sails set to the sky
We'll never change our course so Army you steer shy
Roll up the score, Navy
Anchors aweigh
Sail Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army gray.

“Benny Havens, Oh!”
traditional tune: “Wearing of the Green”

Come fill your glasses, fellows, and stand up in a row.
To singing sentimentally we’re going for to go.
In the Army there’s sobriety, promotions very slow.
So we’ll sing our reminiscences of Benny Havens. Oh!
Oh! Benny Havens, Oh! Oh! Benny Havens, Oh!
We’ll sing our reminiscences of Benny Havens, Oh!
