Sea Shanty |
Dear dirty London in the pouring rain |
I wish to God I was back on the sea again |
Though that belongs to the world of never will be |
There was never a wilder bastard than me on the sea |
I could fuck all the whores in damnation me boys |
Though they wriggled and hollered and made a great noise |
Then I’d drink till I stank and then drink plenty more |
And I won’t go down to the sea any more |
But if I had ten pounds then I’d raise a loud cheer |
And I’d toast all me neighbours both distant and dear |
And I’d shoot back great belly-crippling buckets of beer |
And a pox and a curse on the people round here |
Wouldn’t give you me the price of a half pint of beer |
Wouldn’t give you me the price of a cup of good cheer |
A pox and a curse on the people round here |
A man’s ambition must indeed be small |
To write his name upon a shithouse wall |
But before I die I’ll add my regal scrawl |
To show the world I’m left with sweet fuck all |
And when all of us bold shithouse poets do die |
A monument grand they will raise to the sky |
A monument made just to mark our great wit |
A monument of solid shit now me boys |
I met with Bill James we fought over crusts |
I called him a whore and he booted me crotch |
Then we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat |
The compliments pass when the quality meet |
The compliments pass when the quality meet |
The compliments pass when the quality meet |
The compliments pass when the quality meet |
