but the sea

A bit o elbow grease

Put your caps on

And look lively

This tub won’t sail

Er self

Look lively I said

And I meant it

Cappin’ll be watching

And I’ll be damned if

You misrepresent me

Or this ship

Put your backs to it boys

That’s it, bit o elbow grease

To smooth the way

That’s it boys

No ease till port

But who needs ease

We got the sea

With the wind to our backs

And the sun to our front

What more can a man want for

But the sea
