A sailor's life is supposed to be

A hell of a lot of fun

Yes but when you're a sailor

Take it from me

You work like a sun of a gun

They give us jobs of every kind

And chores of every sort

That's what we say

No you don't mind

'Cause you know when you hit port

There will always be a lady fair

A Jenny fair or a Sadie fair

There'll always be a lady fair

Who's waiting there for you

There will always be a lady fair

To smooth your troubles

And to muss your hair

There'll always be a lady fair

Who's waiting there for you

There will always be a girl's caress

To change your answer

From a no to yes

There'll always be a lady fair

Who's waiting there for you
