| Cuts and Guts | |
|---|---|
| Verse 1: | Chorus: |
| Navy fliers fly off the big carriers | Cuts and guts, cuts and guts. |
| Army fliers aren't seen oe'r the sea | The guys that make carriers are nuts. Are nuts! |
| But we're in the lousy Marine Corps | Cuts and guts, cuts and guts. |
| So we get these dang CVE's! | The guys that make carriers are nuts. |
| Verse 2: | Verse 3: |
| O Midway has thousand-foot runways | Our catapult shots are so hairy, |
| And Leyte, eight hundred and ten. | Our catapult gear is red hot |
| We'd still not have much of a carrier | It never goes off when you're ready, |
| With two of ours laid end to end. | It always goes off when you're not! |
| Verse 4: | Verse 5: |
| We envy the boys on the big ones. | Some day when this fracas is over |
| And we'd trade in a minute or two, | And back at El Toro we'll be, |
| 'Cause we'd like to see those poor bastards | We'll load up with rockets and napalm |
| Try doing the things we do! | And we'll sink every damned CVE! |
First Escort Carriers designed and built from the keel up as such.
