Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
said the fair young maiden
Well
Open the door ya fuckin' whore
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
Open the door ya fuckin' whore
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
Shall we go to the dance?
Shall we go to the dance?
Shall we go to the dance?
said the fair young maiden
Well
To hell with the dance and down with your pants
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
To hell with the dance and down with your pants
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
What's that thing between your legs?
What's that thing between your legs?
What's that thing between your legs?
said the fair young maiden
Well
It's only me pole to stick up your hole
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
It's only me pole to stick up your hole
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
What's that stuff around your pole?
What's that stuff around your pole?
What's that stuff around your pole?
said the fair young maiden
Well
It's only me grass to tickle your ass
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
It's only me grass to tickle your ass
said Barnacle Bill the sailor
