Sailor Joe on the seven seas, knows all the port o'call bars
|
From Bangor to Capetown, Shanghai to Zanzibar
|
And the ladies they all love Sailor Joe,
|
They love his pretty blonde curls
|
Sailor Joe, he's a man you know,
|
So he loves all the native girls
|
(Chorus)
|
Oh, those bright lights, Caribbean nights
|
Drinkin' Puerto Rican rum
|
And the ladies, they all line the shore
|
Whenever the big ship comes
|
Oh, those bright lights, Caribbean nights
|
The sailor he's a little bit drunk
|
And the lady in the bandana dress says,
|
Hey, sailor, do you wanna have fun
|
Sweet little Rita saw Sailor Joe, walking in the tropical night
|
The look in his eyes set her heart on fire, she knew it was love at first sight
|
Sweet little Rita and Sailor Joe, strolling along hand in hand
|
Down through the village, out to the sea, to make sweet love in the sand
|
(Chorus)
|
Sailor Joe, he don't sail no more, give up his life on the sea
|
To settle down in a little town and with sweet Rita get married
|
Pretty soon, Rita and Joe, they have themselves a son,
|
They named him Joseph Sanchez Miguel Jose' Daniel McMunn
|
(Chorus)
|
