Intro = All the nice girls love a sailor All the nice girls love a tar For there's something about a sailor Well you know what sailors are Bright and breezy free and easy He's the ladies' pride and joy He falls in love with Kate and Jane Then he's off to sea again Ship ahoy ship ahoy verse 1 When the man o' war or merchant ship comes sailing into port The jolly tar with joy will sing out land ahoy With his pockets full of money and a parrot in a cage He smiles at all the pretty girls upon the landing stage All the nice girls love a sailor All the nice girls love a tar For there's something about a sailor Well you know what sailors are Bright and breezy free and easy He's the ladies' pride and joy He falls in love with Kate and Jane Then he's off to sea again Ship ahoy ship ahoy verse 2 He will spend his money freely and he's generous to his pals While Jack has got a sou there's half of it for you And it's just the same in love and war he goes through with a smile And you can trust a sailor he's a white man all the while All the nice girls love a sailor All the nice girls love a tar For there's something about a sailor Well you know what sailors are Bright and breezy free and easy He's the ladies' pride and joy He falls in love with Kate and Jane Then he's off to sea again Ship ahoy ship ahoy
