lirik lagu the swallow – the jolly rogers
the bonny ship the swallow has been sighted in the bay
so grab your pay and follow me, today’s our lucky day!
the swallow is the only floating brothel on the sea
and if you listen closely you can make out her shanty!
and they sing: “blow like the wind, girls, and ankles away!”
“lower the sheets, girls, it looks like we might stay!”
“we’ll shiver their timbers if they can only pay,”
“don’t mind the motion of the ocean, or the white sea spray!”
sailors start to gather, crowding on the pier
and any sign of movement is met with wild cheer
the excitement just keeps growing as more sailors line the shore
and one old happy sailor tells us what we have in store!
the swallow parts the waters and slides deep into port
and the girls shout and run about
line the banks, slide down the plank
give the masthead a friendly spread
stand abreast, unveil their nest
spread sails and shake their tails
crowd the dock to show their frocks, and welcome us aboard!
with that the wharf explodes in cheers with all eyes on the bay
we all wait there eagerly ’til they get under way
and everywhere there’s laughter and everyone’s a friend
we see the anchor rising, hear that shanty once again
and they sing: “blow like the wind, girls, and ankles away!”
“lower the sheets, girls, it looks like we might stay!”
“we’ll shiver their timbers if they can only pay,”
“don’t mind the motion of the ocean, or the white sea spray!”
as the ship approaches dock a hush it fills the air
with every sailor brushing and straightening his hair
no one says a word but all have visions in their heads
and then it all comes to pass as that old sailor said!
the swallow parts the waters and slides deep into port
and the girls shout and run about
line the banks, slide down the plank
give the masthead a friendly spread
stand abreast, unveil their nest
spread sails and shake their tails
crowd the dock to show their frocks, and welcome us aboard!
and welcome us aboard!
and welcome us aboard!
