Sailin' over the Doggerbank
Oh, wasn't it a treat
The wind a-blowin' east-northeast
We had to give her sheet
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juber-ju
Give her sheet, let her rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
Now the captain, he's a shangaroosh
He loves a drop o' good ale
The mate, he is a chimneysweep
And been in many a jail
The third hand was a brigand boy
The worst of all the crew
And take a look at the poor old cook
He gets the buggers through
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juber-ju
Give her sheet, let her rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
So it's watch her, twig her
It's down the street she came
With high heels and painted toes
Good Jinnie is on the game
She is one of them flash girls
Can she cut a shine
She can do a double shuffle
On the Knickerbocker Line
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juber-ju
Give her sheet, let her rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
Now we're the boys to make a noise
When we come home from sea
We get right drunk, we roll on the floor
We have a jubilee
We get right drunk and full o' beer
We roll all over the floor
And when the rent, it is all spent
We'll go to sea for more
So watch her, twig her
She's a proper juber-ju
Give her sheet, let her rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
So watch her, twig her (watch her, twig her)
She's a proper juber-ju
Give her sheet, let her rip
We're the boys to see her through
You should to see us rally
The wind a-blowin' free
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
On a passage 'round the Doggerbank
To Great Grimsby
