Now we are ready to sail for the Horn
Weigh hey, roll and go!
Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn
To be rollicking randy dandy-oh!

Heave a pawl, oh heave away!
Weigh hey, roll and go!
The anchor’s on board and the cable’s all stored
To be rollicking randy dandy-oh!

Heave away bullies, ye parish-rigged bums!
Take yer hands out yer pockets and don’t suck yer thumbs

Come breast the bars, bullies, heave her away
Soon we’ll be rolling her down through the Bay

Soon we’ll be warping her out through the locks
Where the pretty young girls all come down in their frocks

We’re outward bound for Vallipo Bay
Get crackin’ me lads, ’tis a hell of a way
