A Port in Every Girl

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

Oh, a girl in every port
Is the call of the sea.
But a port in every girl
Is why it’s a pirate’s life for me!
For me, for me!
As you can plainly see;
A port in every girl,
It’s a pirate’s life for me!
At the tender age of 15 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of Dublin town, a maiden came to me.
She took me by me mizenmast and led me far astray...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the tender age of 16 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of old Rangoon a Geisha came to me.
She fed me rice and treat me nice, and down with her I lay...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the tender age of 17 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of old Marseille, a mamsel came to me.
I dined on her puff pastries and showed her my éclair...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the tender age of 18 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of Napoli a senora came to me.
I danced around her olive grove and she uncorked my wine...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the tender age of 19 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of Tripoli a harem came to me.
I rode their magic carpet and they polished up my lamp...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the tender age of 20 years I went unto the sea.
And in the port of old Melbourne a sheila came to me.
She played with my boomerang and I jumped her kangaroo...
And as far away as London town, it’s said you could hear me say...
[CHORUS]
At the ripe old age of 21 I came home from the sea.
And in the port of London town the women came to me.
They’d heard about my pillaging as I stepped off of the quay,
And all throughout old London town it’s said you could hear me say...
Oh, a girl in every port was my call to the sea.
But port in every girl was far too much for me...
[CHORUS]
