| the night was dark
|
| the seas were rough
|
| the port lay straight ahead
|
| the booze ran out
|
| the men grew tired
|
| and this is what they said:
|
| captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
|
| then you’ll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground
|
| well the jolly roger pulled through
|
| and made it to the land
|
| we disembarked
|
| went into town with vengence in our hand
|
| the children cried
|
| the woman sight
|
| the men just turn their heads
|
| so with a smile we chated loud and this is what we said
|
| ooohhoooh
|
| raise’em in the air
|
| we’ll knock you up and slap you down
|
| and never seem to care
|
| ooohooohh
|
| another one for me cause we’re the filthy vermin
|
| that will set you people free
|
| with nothing left for us to drink
|
| the night was winding down
|
| but still the girls kept swaggering
|
| and still hanging around
|
| oh! |
| mister can you tell me where i can find a man
|
| the only thing that you will find is the back side of my hand!
|
| ooohhoooh
|
| raise’em in the air
|
| we’ll knock you up and slap you down
|
| and never seem to care
|
| ooohooohh
|
| another one for me we’re the filthy vermin
|
| that will set you people free
|
| we’re the filthy vermin
|
| that will set you people free
|
| ooohhoooh
|
| raise’em in the air
|
| we’ll knock you up and slap you down
|
| and never seem to care
|
| ooohooohh
|
| another one for me we’re the filthy vermin
|
| that will set you people free
|
| we’re the filthy vermin
|
