don harvey (folk) - sailing to constantinople lyrics
we’re setting sail for constantinople
our dear captain told us, “let’s go!”
so we pack up our mess kits with bratwurst and rye
we launder our pants in saltw+ter and lye
and we stow jars of duck fat++just don’t ask us why!
we’re heading out for the high sea
my captain, my shipmates and me!
we’re sailing on to constantinople
and life on our ship is just grand
out here on the ocean we’ve nothing to fear
we wash down our suppers with tall steins of beer
and we choose for a bunkmate a man to hold near
we’d fight for our country for free
just give us a life on the sea!
we’re sailing into constantinople
our brave captain warned us it’s true:
that when we’re ashore we’ll be put through our paces
our heels in the air and broad smiles on our faces
as happy as sailors can be
the navy’s the lifestyle for me!
we’re sailing out from constantinople
’cause our mission here is now through
we’re leaving the port with some tears in our eyes
we need to rub ointment on our battered thighs
but those ottoman soldiers are now our allies!
we’re proud of our service you see
we did it for old germany!
