There’s a Fella Waitin’ in Poughkeepsie Songtext
von Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters

There′s a feller 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, honour 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 ought to set you right
There's a feller 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 waiting 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 'em here and there
What the heck, chicks are chicks anywhere
Some of them are kinda bobby-soxsy
But it might be quite a lengthy fight
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 ought to set you right
Well tell it tonight
There′s a feller and a girl 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.
