The night was dark The seas were rough The port lay straight ahead The booze ran out The men grew tired And this is what they said Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down Then you'll be sleeping right along this vessel in the ground Well the jolly roger pulled through And made it to the land We disembarked Went into town with vengence in our hand The children cried The women sighed The men would turn their heads So with a smile we chated loud and this is what we said Oooh Oooh Raise 'em in the air We'll knock you up And slap you down And never seem to care Oooh Oooh Another one for me We're the filthy vermin That'll set you people free With nothing left for us to drink The night was winding down But still the girls kept swaggering And still hanging around Oh, monsieur can you tell me where I can find a man The only thing that you'll find's the back side of my hand! Oooh Oooh Raise 'em in the air We'll knock you up And slap you down And never seem to care Oooh Oooh Another one for me We're the filthy vermin That'll set you people free We're the filthy vermin That'll set you people free Oooh Oooh Raise 'em in the air We'll knock you up And slap you down And never seem to care Oooh Oooh Another round for me We're the filthy vermin That'll set you people free We're the filthy vermin That'll set you people free
