Hey there! you dirty old swines!
Better tighten them ropes, and steardy them lines!
Hark now! you sea-loving knaves!
Poseidon's awake and he's rolling them waves!
Hey! Sir! Boys! What?! What do you got?
A ship that will break and a body that'll rot!
Hey! Sir! Men! Yeah! Why do we row?
Cause sailors are we and it's sailing we know!
Hey lads! better steardy them legs!
Drink to your health and empty them kegs!
Let the yardarms stay bare! take our the oars!
Make your backs full of hurt and your hands full of sores!
Hey! Sir! Boys! What?! What do you got?
A ship that will break and a body that'll rot!
Hey! Sir! Men! Yeah! Why do we row?
Cause sailors are we and it's sailing we know!
