Everybody loves The Boatswains

Ah, my poor lad, you've climbed too high: our worthy
captain's child won't have nothin' to say
And soon that old fire is a-ragin'
Up beneath the bridge it's climbin' fast
The captain stands aloft
He calls up to the boatswain, says
"Boatswain, we
the world famous Boatswains
Just back from their reunion tour

As free as a mountain bird,
His energetic fist should be ready to resist

Yet fond of amusement, too,
And he played hop-scotch with the starboard watch
While the captain tickled the crew.

So walk the line with sideboys at bay
Let the boatswain's pipe play
As you salute for the last time
Congratulations

They're getting plum creative in how they tear us apart
The boatswain's working on his secret knot
He said he sees an ending

Blow high, blow low, and so sailed we
