Your rating:
A STUDIO BAND VOCALS BY VAUGHN MONROE (VM) AND THE BOATSWAINMEN (BM) (VM) A CAPITAL SHIP FOR AN OCEAN TRIP AS THE WALLOPING WIND BLEW BLIND THE WIND THAT BLEW DISMAYED HER CREW MORE TROUBLED THE CAPTAIN'S MIND. THE MAN AT THE WHEEL WAS MADE TO FEEL CONTEMPT FOR THE WILDEST BLO-0-OW THOUGH IT OUGHT T'HAVE 'PEARED WHEN THE GAY LAD FEARED THAT HE'D BEEN IN HIS BUNK BELOW. CHROUS; (VM&BM)SO BLOW YE WINDS, HI HO A ROVING I WILL GO I'LL STAY NO MORE ON ENGLAND'S SHORE SO LET THE MUSIC PLAY-AY-AY. I'M OFF FOR THE MORNING TRAIN I'VE CROSSED THE RAGING MAIN (VM) I'M OFF FOR YOU LOVE, WITH A BOXING GLOVE (VM&BM)TEN THOUSAND MILES AWAY. (VM) THE CAPTAIN SAT ON THE COMMODORE'S HAT AND DINED IN A ROYAL WAY ON PICKLES AND FIGS AND LITTLE ROAST PIGS AND GUNNERY BREAD EACH DAY. THE COOK WAS DUTCH, AND BEHAVED AS SUCH FOR THE DIET HE SERVED THE CREW-EW-EW WAS A COUPLE OF TONS OF HOT CROSS BUNS SERVED UP WITH SUGAR AND GOO. (VM&BM)CHORUS REPEATED AS PREVIOUSLY DONE (VM) THEN WE ALL FELL ILL AS MARINERS WILL ON A DIET THAT'S ROUGH AND CRUDE AND WE SHIVERED AND SHOOK AS WE DIPPED THE COOK IN A TUB OF HIS GRUESOME FOOD. ALL NAUTICAL PRIDE WE CAST ASIDE AS WE RAN THE SHIP A SHORE-ORE-ORE ON THE GULLIBY ISLES WHERE THE POO POO SMILES AND THE RUBALEE DUCKS DOTH ROAR (BM) ON THE GULLIBY ISLES WHERE THE POO POO SMILES AND THE RUBALEE DUCKS DOTH ROAR. (VM) ON RUG BUG BARK FROM DAWN TO DARK WE DINED TILL WE ALL HAD GROWN UNCOMMONLY SHRUNK WITH A CHINESE JUNK CAME UP FROM A TO -I-BLE ZONE SHE WAS CHUBBY AND SQUARE BUT WE DIDN'T MUCH CARE SO WE HAPPILY PUT OUT TO SEA-EA-EA AND WE LEFT ALL THE CREW OF THE JUNK TO CHEW ON THE BARK OF THE RUG BUG TREE. (VM&BM) CHORUS REPEATED AS PREVIOULY DONE TO FINISH THE SONG.
