and we were not far from the land
When our captain in spite of mermaids
so fair with a comb and a glass in her hand
And the ocean waves do roll
and the stormy winds do blow
While the landlubbers lie down below,
While the landlubbers lie down below
Well up spoke the captain
And a fine old man was he
He said, this fishy mermaid
has warned us of our doom
We will sink to the bottom of the sea
And the ocean waves do roll,
and the stormy winds do blow,
And we poor sailors go skiffing at the top,
While the Latin lovers lie down below,
While the Latin lovers lie down below.
And a sharp shooting arm had she.
She said, I may go down with the ship
but I'm taking me cannons with me.
And the ocean waves do roll,
and the stormy winds do blow,
while the landlubbers lie down below,
while the landlubbers lie down below.
Then up jumped the laddie
and he saw the mermaid smiling
He said, I've never kissed a girl,
I'll give that one a whirl,
and he leapt to the bottom of the sea.
And the ocean waves do roll,
and the stormy winds do blow,
an d we poor sailors go skipping at the top,
while the Latin lovers lie down below,
While the landlubbers lie down below
I've been stuck on this ship for
months and months and months
And I'm sick, as seasick as can be
They kept saying I'd get my sea leg soon
But till then I'll be heaving in the sea
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
While the Latin lovers lie down below
And an old assaulted wretch was he
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
And we poor sailors go skip
While the Latin lovers lie down below,
While the Latin lovers lie down below
I stowed away on this big old ship
Looking for adventure on the sea
So far all I've found are rats
And the ocean waves do roll
And the stormy winds do blow
While the landlubbers lie down below
Three times round spun our gallant ship
And three times round spun she
Three times round spun our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea
And the ocean waves do the roll
And the stormy winds do blow
While the landlubbers lie down below you
