Cuts and Guts Oscar Brand

[Verse 1]
Navy fliers fly off the big carriers
Army fliers aren't seen o'er the seas
But we're in the lousy Marine Corps
So we get these danged CVE's

[Chorus]
Cuts and guts, cuts and guts
The guys that make carriers are nuts, are nuts
Cuts and guts, cuts and guts
The guys that make carriers are nuts

[Verse 2]
The Midway has thousand-foot runways
The Leyte eight-hundred and ten
We'd still not have much of a carrier
With two of ours laid end to end

[Chorus]
Cuts and guts, cuts and guts
The guys that make carriers are nuts, are nuts
Cuts and guts, cuts and guts
The guys that make carriers are nuts

It always goes off when you're not
