[Voice: cracked female jazz contralto; Style: blues-jazz; Instruments: brass, strings, piano; Tempo: fast; Mood: playful, drunken courage, cheerful] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] We should, we should, we should all hit the bottom, There we, there we, there we’ll drink till forgotten. Down on the seabed, you loaded or sober, Fish and the mermaids don’t care at all [Chorus] Hey sailor, you’ve been at sea too long, I forgot your face, I forgot your song. Now I like more the sea-born devil, He’s the one I wanna love. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Raise the anchor, raise the anchor, take your stations ready, On the rumble, rumble, rumble, hold the course steady! We haul the sea-born devil a barrel of rum, He won’t resist, he’ll come undone. [Chorus] Hey sailor, you’ve been at sea too long, I forgot your face, I forgot your song. Now I like more the sea-born devil, He’s the one I wanna love. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1 Repeat] We should, we should, we should all hit the bottom, There we, there we, there we’ll drink till forgotten. Down on the seabed, you loaded or sober, Fish and the mermaids don’t care at all [Chorus] Hey sailor, you’ve been at sea too long, I forgot your face, I forgot your song. Now I like more the sea-born devil, He’s the one I wanna love. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus Repeat] Hey sailor, you’ve been at sea too long, I forgot your face, I forgot your song. Now I like more the sea-born devil, He’s the one I wanna love. [Break: vocal emphasis] He’s the one I wanna love. [Instrumental Outro]
