A dirty old chub called Willie
And his friend little Tony McGoon
Sailed all the oceans
But now they′re back in town
They joined in with gay Doc McLober
A retired fishing man but a swank
A thorough faced scoundrel
Who just threw his weight about
Together the kings of the back streets
Together they lived just for fun
Until the end of their days
A sailor's delight every night by the harbour
Where girls hang around with the men of the sea
Where old fishing men make tall alcohol stories
Craving for gin and together they sing
A sailor′s delight every night by the harbour
Where girls hang around with the men of the sea
Where old fishing men make tall alcohol stories
Craving for gin and together they sing
Frog crested waves on the ocean
They would bring them all over the world
To live in clover
With all the girls in town
They grew up with rebels and rousers
A blind alley life on the sea
They would end on the gallows
The price of the life they lived
Together the kings of the back streets
Together they lived just for fun
Until the end of their days
A sailor's delight every night by the harbour
Where girls hang around with the men of the sea
Where old fishing men make tall alcohol stories
Craving for gin and together they sing
A sailor's delight every night by the harbour
Where girls hang around with the men of the sea
Where old fishing men make tall alcohol stories
Craving for gin and together they sing
