I've got one liver and, man, I shiver.
I've got two ears, but one don't hear
A word that you're saying.
I've got two eyes, but one can't spy
A ship when it starts swaying.
But it's okay if I drink all day,
For tomorrow I'll sail away.
And it's alright if I drink all night,
For this evening I'm docked in the bay.
I've got one liver and, man, I shiver
When I think of the damage done.
I've got one spleen that makes me mean
When I finish a bottle of rum.
I had two legs, now one's a peg,
I still give the lassies a twirl.
I've got two hands and don't give a damn
As long as they're holding a girl.
I'll harpoon a whale and send him to hell,
Piercing his heart through his blubber.
Let this be said, I'd rather be dead
Than be known as a landlubber.
Well I can boast on every coast
That I've sailed the seven seas.
On the day I croak, roll me off the boat,
And let the waves bury me.
