steeleye span - senior service lyrics
[chorus:]
sally’s in the alley and nancy’s on the game
emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
we raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
that the senior service satisfy
see the bold man of war steaming into port
guns fully primed, the 24 pounder sort
and down on the deck for a full broadside
back on the high seas with the rising tide
here’s a little steamship chugging up the channel
small smoke stack and a red smoking funnel
he brings the girls presents of stockings and tights
comes regular as clockwork every tuesday night
[chorus]
here come the sailor boys, matthew, luke and john
i like ’em with tattoos, i like ’em young and strong
here come the sailor boys a-rousting up the town
their rigging is up but their sails are down
here’s a skipper of a clipper with a broken bowsprit
heading for a dry dock and a new re-fit
there’s an oil tanker of the modern kind
a thousand foot length of throbbing steam turbine
[chorus]
here come the sailor boys, george, john and paul
i like ’em lithe and lisson, i like ’em slim and tall
here come the sailor boys whistling on the quay
blue peter up the mast where all the girls can see
[chorus]
