jackie
good people give ear to me story
now, pay attention, and none of your lip
for i’ve brought you these lads
and their daddy

davy
and their daddy

jackie
intending to build you’s a ship

men
wallsend is wor habitation
it’s the place we was all born and bred

jackie
and there’s no finer lads in the nation

men
and none are more gallantly led

jackie
let’s get cracking gentlemen, chop chop! we’ve got a ship to build

what’ve we got but the buzzer in the morning?
what’ve we got but the laying of a keel?
jackie & men
what’ve we got

jackie
but the cranes above us soaring?
the commotion and the clamour in the welding of the steel
what’ve we got

davy
but the mist upon the river?

jackie
what’ve we got

men
but the noise inside the hold?

jackie & men
what’ve we got

jackie
but the +rs+ end of the weather?
where we work in horizontal rain, and

jackie, davy, men
shiver in the cold
jackie & men
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

men
what’ve ye got

jackie
but the singing in the cables?

men
what’ve ye got

davy
but the ringing in your ears?

men
what’ve ye got

billy
well you can’t claim you’re disabled
‘cause the bosses turned the tables
and your rights have disappeared
jackie & men
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

jackie
now what do you get for your politics?

men
now’t!

jackie
what do you get for your vote?

men
now’t!

jackie
now what have we got at the end of the day?

men
a great big bl++dy boat!

jackie
you’ve got to die of something
it’s written in your fate
you might as well
die on a tuesday
and woe betide
you’re late

men & jackie
what’ve ye got? (all you men what’s fit and able?)
what’ve ye got? (for the straining in your neck?)
what’ve ye got? (when you’re laid out on the table.)

men
and the snapping of a cable when the rigging hits the deck?
what’ve we got

tom
but a yard full of big brothers?

men
what’ve we got

tom
but a place to sling me tools?

men
what’ve we got

tom
i can’t wait to tell me mother!

men
and we’ll teach you plenty other things you’ll never learn in school

jackie & men
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t else.)

what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
what’ve ye got? (what’ve we got?)
you’ve got now’t. (we’ve got now’t.)
we’ve got now’t, we’ve got now’t else…
