while the evening breeze is touching his skin
he remembered he couldn't even swim
he took a solid china cup
and poored in the syrup
and with eager gulps the booze he drank
but by bootswain he was given a spank
keelhauled he was te be by captains command
something he didn't quite understand
he wished he was back home in Rotterdam
all he ever did was swallow his oorlam.
The naughty seafarer
One salty dog took a jugcontaining fine Jamaican grog
while the evening breeze is touching his skin
he remembered he couldn't even swim
he took a solid china cup
and poored in the syrup
and with eager gulps the booze he drank
but by bootswain he was given a spank
keelhauled he was te be by captains command
something he didn't quite understand
he wished he was back home in Rotterdam
all he ever did was swallow his oorlam.
