Jotte: | When a sailor goes out walking, Good old Jack must have his Jill, |
||
Estelle: | He has sailed the ocean wide — | ||
Jotte: | And his trousers are wider still. | ||
Estelle: | Hoist your top'sle spinnaker, Three tacks to port then steer; |
||
Jotte: | Tacks to port! There's quite enough tax to beer! |
||
Both: | Won't you take a walk with me? Won't you take a stroll? |
||
Jotte: | When a sailor's been upon the rolling sea, Well, he's rather on the roll. |
||
Estelle: | Hitches up his breeches, so, Round his ong bong pong; |
||
Jotte: | The stormy winds are blowing round the spanker boom, So toddle.. |
||
Estelle: | Toddle... | ||
Both: | along! | ||
