There Is Nothin' Like A Dame from South Pacific-1949 on Columbia. chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
We got sunlight on the sand, we got moonlight on the sea
[E] We got mangoes and bananas you can pick right off a tree
We [A] got volleyball and ping pong and a lot of dandy games
[D] What games we got?
[E] We ain't got [A]
games!
We get packages from home
We get movies, we get shows
[E] We get speeches from our skipper
And advice from Tokyo Rose
We get letters doused [A] with poison
We get dizzy from the smell
[Bm] What don'ts we get?
[E] You know damn [A] well!
[C#]
We have nothing to put on a clean white [F#]
suit for
[F] What we need is what there ain't no substitute [E]
for
There is nothing like a [F#m] day
[E] Nothing in the [A] world
[E] There is nothing you [C#] can name
[E] That [Bm] is anything [E] like a day
[A] We feel restless, we feel blue
We feel lonely and in brief
[E] We feel every kind of feeling but the feeling of relief
We [A] feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding Hood
[Bm] What don't we feel?
[E] We don't [A] feel good!
[C#] Lots of things in life are beautiful but, [F#] brother
[F] There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever
Never in any way, shape or form like any [E] other
There is nothing [C#m] like a [F#m] day
[E] Nothing in the [A] world
[Bm] There [E] is nothing you [C#] can name
[Gm] That is [Bm] [E] anything like [A] a [F#m] day
[C#m] [B] Nothing else is built the same
Nothing [F#] in [D#m] the [B] world
[E] Has [F#] a soft and [D#] wavy [G#] frame like [C#m] a
[F#] [B] day
There is absolutely nothing like the frame of
[A] a day
So suppose a dame ain't bright or completely free from claws
Or [E] as faithful as a bird dog or as kind as Santa Claus
It's a [A] waste of time to worry over things that they have not
[Bm] Be thankful for [E] the things [A] they've got
[E]
[C#m] [F#m] [E]
[A] [Bm] There [E] is nothing you [C#m] can name
[F#] That [Bm] is anything [C#m] like [A] a day
[E]
There are no books like a day
[A] And nothing looks like a day
[E] There are no drinks like a day
[A] And nothing thinks like a [E] day
Nothing acts like a day
Or [F#m] attracts like a [E] day
[A]
There [D] ain't a thing that's [Bm] wrong with any man here
That [F#] [B] can't be cured by putting him near
[E] A girl is more than me
Female, feminine, [A]
male
