Haul that halyard make it fast
Swing that boom to the mizzenmast
Swab that galley, shoot that-
I'm sorry
ย
Haul that halyard make it fast
Swing that boom to the mizzenmast
Swab that galley, man that gun
And when I give the signal shoot the sun
ย
Oh, the bosun's the fellow all the sailors obey
For he gives all his orders in a musical way
Oh, it sounds mighty pretty when he bosses the crew
For he's got a little whistle that's nice to listen to
ย
When the bosun pipes a tune
When the bosun pipes a tune
He always serenades you with a chantey you can croon
There's a twinkle in his eye, and nobody can deny
That when he starts to play, right away
It's hotter than the Fourth of July
Just to show you his skill
First he'll blow you a trill
Then he'll give you a thrill
With a "tweet-tweet-tweet" that can't be beat
All your cares are forgotten
Every time you listen to
That jolly old bosun
Pipin' a tune for you
ย
When the bosun pipes a tune
When the bosun pipes a tune
He always serenades you with a chantey you can croon
There's a twinkle in his eye, and nobody can deny
That when he starts to play, right away
It's hotter than the Fourth of July
Just to show you his skill
First he'll blow you a trill
Then he'll give you a thrill
With a "tweet-tweet-tweet" that can't be beat
All your cares are forgotten
Every time you listen to
That jolly old bosun
That jolly old bosun
That jolly old bosun
Pipin' a tune for you
