At last I've got Disbursing
Right where it wants me. Now
Stop tearing your hair and cursing.
. . . I'll help you. Here is how:
Just learn some simple logical rules
Which invariably hold true
Outside of a few exceptions--
About 1000 or 2)
The last day you work you're absent
But the last day you're absent You're there.
You're court-martialed for being a minute late
But for 23 hours they don't care.
When money comes into your office
You'd think it would be to your credit
But that's too simple an answer--
The Navy makes it a debit.
Every month has 30 days
(Now keep that well in mind)
Unless you leave at 2400
And say August 29).
That really makes it 30
(Somewhere they always add 1)
So, tho' you only get pay for 30 days
You get checked for 31.
Now follow the simple logic
You're ready to ask for your sum
Sign for 250 grand---
Portsmouth, here you come!
