The naughty seafarer

One salty dog took a jug
containing 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.
