Sur un baleinier John s'est réveillé
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey
Quelqu'un criait paré à larguer
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey
Too laa hey ho too la hey
John Kanaka naka tou laa hey
Dans une taverne il s'est fait enrôler
Par un bosco qui l'avait saoulé
A bord ton temps tu l'passes à étarquer
C'est pas l'cap'taine qui monte dans les huniers
Par le Cap Horn trois fois ils sont passés
Mais rien qu'une fois son sac il a posé
Et des baleines ils n'en ont pas pognées
Y a qu'le sale temps qu'ils ont harponné
Mais aux Marquises l'enfer s'est terminé
Dans les bras d'la goélette la mieux gréée
John est heureux avec sa vahiné
C'est pas demain qu'il va réembarquer
