The Way With Every Sailor |
For that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
He will knock you in the perch |
Then he’ll leave you in the lurch |
From admiral to simple whaler |
He cannot resist |
The bliss of being kissed! |
(Oh, yes) |
He will upset you |
Then forget you |
He loves to give the girls a treat |
And that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
They’re all free men |
From the seaman |
To the adm’ral of the fleet! |
A sailor’s love is trong |
But doesn’t last for long |
How can a man be faithful |
When sailing to Hongkong! |
(When sailing to Hongkong) |
He travels fast and far |
From here to Zanzibar |
And thousand girls are sighing |
We know what sailors are! |
(We know what sailors are) |
They’re girls from East and West |
Tattooed upon his chest: |
It helps him to remember which one he loves the best! |
For that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
He will knock you in the perch |
Then he’ll leave you in the lurch |
From admiral to simple whaler |
He cannot resist |
The bliss of being kissed! |
He will upset you |
Then forget you |
He loves to give the girls a treat |
And that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
They’re all free men |
From the seaman |
To the adm’ral of the fleet! |
You girls who live on land |
Be sure you understand |
A sailor only loves, when that love is contraband! |
(That love is contraband) |
A wife in ev’ry port |
Is his idea of sport! |
That makes his life a gay one because he knows it’s short! |
(Because he knows it’s short) |
And so when he appears |
You can be sure, my dears |
He’ll show you paradise but you’re bound to end in tears! |
For that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
He will knock you in the perch |
Then he’ll leave you in the lurch |
From admiral to simple whaler |
He cannot resist |
The bliss of being kissed! |
He will upset you |
Then forget you |
He loves to give the girls a treat |
And that’s the way with ev’ry sailor |
They’re all free men |
From the seaman |
To the adm’ral of the fleet! |
They’re all free men |
From the seaman |
To the adm’ral of the fleet! |
They’re all free men |
From the seaman |
To the adm’ral of the fleet! |
