McMurphy's Bar
After work on a Friday night, Harm was feeling rather depressed because Renee had dumped him and he had no plans. He decided to go to McMurphy's for a beer. Recognizing a figure at the bar, he walked over.
"Admiral." Harm said. "How are you?"
"Depressed" the Admiral replied sulkily.
Harm sat down. "Yeah, me too."
The bartender came over and Harm ordered a beer. Then a man was talking on a microphone. "Tonight is Karaoke Night, and for anyone interested, there's a book of songs over here."
Harm looked over at the Admiral who was getting up. "Where are you going, Sir?"
The Admiral replied with a grunt that sounded like "Karaoke"
Harm looked stunned. 'The Admiral. Singing karaoke? I have to see this.'
A moment later, the same man who announced Karaoke was introducing the Admiral. Harm joined in the round of applause, then he heard a voice behind him say, "I can't wait to see this!"
Harm turned around to see Mac standing behind him. He grinned, then said, "I think the Admiral may be a *teensy* bit drunk."
"I can tell" said Mac, wincing as the Admrial started to sing, badly out of tune.
As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere
Harm and Mac joined in the applause and laughter once the Admiral was done. Harm turned back to the bar and drained his beer. "My turn"
Mac laughed once she realized what Harm was singing. She laughed even harder when the crowed started clapping with the song. Then they started to chant:
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
Harm was grinning when he started to sing.
Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign of for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet
Then he and the crowd took turns singing.
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Yes, you can sail the seven seas
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Yes, you can put your mind at ease
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Come on now, people, make a stand
Crowd: In the navy, in the navy
Harm: Can't you see we need a hand
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Come on, protect the motherland
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Come on and join your fellow man
Crowd: In the navy
Harm: Come on people, and make a stand
Crowd: In the navy, in the navy, in the navy
More clapping, then the crowd started singing again:
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
Harm was laughing while trying to sing again.
If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They're signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don't you worry 'bout a thing
For I'm sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea
Then Harm and the crowd alternated through their lines again.
In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy
The crowd chanted: They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
"Who me?" asked Harm, going along with the song.
They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit
"But, but but I'm afraid of water. Hey, hey look man, I get seasick even watchin' it on TV!" Harm was laughing too hard to finish.
They want you, they want you
they want you, they want you
Oh my goodness.
What am I gonna do in a submarine?
They want you, they want you
They want you, they want you
The crowd cheered loudly for Harm once he had finished. He walked back over the bar, laughing all the way, where the Admiral was slumped over.
"I think he needs a cab." Mac said.
"Yeah," agreed Harm with a nod, "I think so too."
They had the bartender call a cab for the Admiral, and then Harm said to Mac, "Your turn."
"No way Harm." Mac protested. "I'm not going to make a fool out of myself."
"But you have a good voice." Then to the crowd Harm said, "Who wants to see this beautiful woman..." He winked at Mac. "...sing us a song?"
Everyone in the bar cheered. Harm flashed his Flyboy grin..
"Fine." Mac said. "But you owe me. BIG."
Harm laughed. "Get up there Mac!"
Mac stood up in front of the microphone. She looked at Harm. 'I can't believe I'm doing this.'
Then the music started to play, and she started to sing.
