Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters — Theres A Fella Waitin in Poughkeepsie

There's a fella waitin' in Poughkeepsie And he's just as sweet as sweet can be He hasn't even been tipsy Since I left him and took to the sea There's another, waitin' in Pomona With the cutest dimple in his chin And there's a guy in Daytona Who just waits for my ship to come in I miss 'em, honor bright I write 'em, every night But if you held my hand I suppose they would all understand Oh, you mustn't think I'm just a gypsy But I really oughta set you right There's a fella waitin' in Poughkeepsie But I'm strictly on my own tonight There's a wave who's waitin' in Biloxi Says she's gonna marry me or bust We're bein' married by proxy When I find me a wolf I can trust There's a spar who's waitin' in Waukegan Who is really different from the rest I think her last name is Reagan That's the name that's tattooed on my chest A WAC in Hackensack A WAC from Pontiac I got a few, here and there What the heck, chicks are chicks everywhere Some of them are kinda bobby-soxxy But it may be quite a lengthy flight There's a wave who's waitin' in Biloxi But I'm strictly on my own tonight There's a sweetheart in Poughkeepsie Just as sweet as sweet can be, you see He hasn't even been tipsy Since I left him and took to the sea Oh, you mustn't think we're gypsies But we really oughta set you right (well, tell it tonight) There's a fella and a gal waitin' in Poughkeepsie But I'm strictly on my own Yes, I'm strictly on my own Oh, we're strictly on our own tonight
