"I Love To Be A Sailor" by Harry Lauder

I think I love a lassie, they say all sailors do,

I've courted her for forty years or maybe forty two.

There's no mistake about her. 'cause she is a dear wee dear,

And everytime I sail away, I whisper in her ear.

Chorus

I love to be a sailor, a sailor, a sailor,

I love to sail upon the ocean blue, yes I do.

I love to be a sailor, a sailor, a sailor,

Sailing on the good ship Kangaroo.

Patter (spoken)

You know when I was a wee, wee boy at the schoolroom, I used to hear them talking

about a sailor having a wife in every port an, why of course mind you, that was when I was

a wee, wee boy! And when I hear anybody saying now that a sailor has a wife in every port,

I just say to mysel' "well, it's better to have a wife in every port than have them all stuck up in

one port." Ay, ay, ay, oh, but it's a grand life as a sailor. A sailor has a free and open life. there

you are you're way there out on the bounding, rolling, seething, ceaseless sea from morning till

night. Oh, I tell you ... I tell you there's nothing like a life on the rolling sea.

Chorus (repeat)

Patter (spoken) Sailing on the good ship Kangaroo.

That's Sir Harry to you Chavy,

Try Googling him though Chavy, he had quite an amazing career - my musical taste & studies are ecclectic I must admit..... :D
