the jolly rogers - the cabin boy lyrics
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
[verse 1]
so we went to the mizzen, she could help me raise the sail!
she grabbed that massive cord, just sure she wouldn’t fail
upon her lips there came a smile i knew she couldn’t wait
and with just a tug or two it went up, tall and straight!
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
[verse 2]
so we went back to my job, i was on high watch that night
watching her climb that big white mast it was a h+ll of a sight
i got up so very fast, i could see she was impressed
and as soon as she was ready, i dove into the nest
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
[verse 3]
so we went straight to work, a+swabbin’ on the deck
she polished it up so well you couldn’t see a speck
i asked her how she liked it, she said it was divine
then asked, “well what do you think of me old spit+shine?”
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
[verse 4]
so we went down to the bilge and i showed the pump to her
she asked if we could try it so i said “why, sure!”
we pumped it slow, we pumped it fast, we pumped it low and high
no matter how we pumped, though, it seemed to get less dry
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
[verse 5]
so we went down to the gun deck, it was nice and cool below
because i knew that i had something that i was proud to show
we could polish my big cannons and stack up all my b+lls
but she kept trying to hug me, and was no help at all!
(what?! well, she was a lousy worker. well, she was!)
[chorus]
it was a long and lonely trip when i found to my surprise
that our brand new cabin boy was a woman in disguise!
she took me by the hand and said “i thought you’d never guess”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
“now let’s go and have some fun, but please don’t tell the rest”
