The Jolly Jack Tar

I’ve sailed not one of the seven seas but you can call me sailor

I want to have a sailor suit so I’m going to a tailor

So splice the mizzen, say “Adieu”

I’m off to sail the ocean blue

I may not go so very far

But I’ll be a Jolly, Jack Tar

Chorus

Blow hard me boys blow hard

Yo……………..oh……… heave………….. ho

Blow hard and don’t be mard

Yo……………..oh……… heave………….. ho

Don’t suck soft be a Jolly, Jack Tar

                                                                                   Heave…………………………………………….Heave

Blow hard me boys blow hard

Yo……………..oh……… heave………….. ho

I’ve never seen a clipper ship but I want to be a cut throat

To plunder on the open sea on a pirate’s thug boat

So heave the anchor, ring the bell

You lubbers are all off to hell

I’m off to get a facial scar

To be a Jolly, Jack Tar

I’ve never sung a shanty song but I really want too

Have a parrot on my head and a great big naval tattoo

So get the chopper, axe my leg

I’m going to have a wooden peg

I’ll only eat at oyster bars

When I’m a Jolly, Jack Tar

I have never graced a sailing ship but you can call me seaman

Rub some grog upon my chest and I turn into a demon

Ahoy me hearties, to the boats

I’ll be the meanest dog afloat

So let’s be off, say au revoir

I am a Jolly, Jack Tar

20 lashes Mr Christian

I love it when you talk nautical
