The night was dark
|
the seas were rough
|
the port lay straight ahead
|
the booze ran out
|
the men grew tired and this is what they said
|
"captain if you cannot find a place to set her down"
|
"then you will be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground!"
|
|
well the jolly roger pulled through and made it to the land,
|
we disembaked, went into town with vengence in our hand,
|
the children cried,
|
the women sighed,
|
the men just turned their heads,
|
with a smiled we chated loud and this is what we said
|
"wohohoho raise them in the air,
|
knock you up and slap you down,
|
and never seem to care.
|
wohohoho another one for me,
|
cause we're the filthy vermin,
|
that will set you people free,
|
cause we're the filthy vermin
|
that will set you people free."
|
|
with nothing left for us to drink,
|
the night was winding down,
|
but still the girls were swaggering,
|
and still hanging around.
|
"Oh mister can you tell me,
|
where i can find a man,
|
"the only thing that you will find miss,
|
is the back side of me hand!"
|
|
"wohohoho raise them in the air!
|
knock you up and slap you down,
|
and never seem to care!
|
wohohoho another one for me,
|
cause we're the filthy vermin,
|
that will set you people free.
|
cause we're the filthy vermin,
|
that will set you people free.
|
wohohoho raise them in the air,
|
knock you up and slap you down,
|
and never seem to care.
|
wohohoho another one for me,
|
cause we're the filthy vermin,
|
that will set you people free,
|
cause we're the filthy vermin,
|
that will set you people free!"
