The Sailors' Lament (Girls, Girls!) Songtext
I got me girl, I got me a gal
She looks oh so sweet all wrapped up in her gown
No matter the weather, she′s always around
To lend me a smile or shoot me a frown
Whenever I come home with drink up me eyes
She's there to tell me off with a boot up me ass!
Girls, girls! We can′t live without!
One minute we miss em, the next we want out!
We hold em, we squeeze em, we twirl them about!
And we just can not wait to get out on the town!
I've got me a missus, she lives in the city
She may fool around, oh but damn she's so pretty!
For just 20 cents and a dollar I get
To tell her my problems and all my laments
Sometimes I′ll get lucky, but you know it′s a shame
'Cause each time I do it′s thirty dollars down the drain!
Well unlike my friend here i've no need to pay
One of my ladies she lives by the bay
Her husband′s a sailor much like you and me
But she loves me much more, and I know she'd decree
But my love for her is fickle, I quickly get bored
One lady′s not enough, I always need more!
Girls, girls! We can't live without!
One minute we miss em, the next we want out!
We hold em, we squeeze em, we twirl them about!
And we just can not wait to get out on the town!
One minute my brothers, O let me confess!
For my dearest lady is not like the rest!
She's nie my lover, though I love her so dear,
She feeds me and clothes me and brings me good cheer
My lads she′s my mother, and you best not give jeers
If you dare insult her I′ll rip out your ears!
Well if that's an offer, then i′ll take you up!
My wife, though I love her, she never shuts up!
My first wife she nagged till her last dying day
And I fear that my new one is doing the same!
So to save me from another long rant about chores
Please acknowledge my motive for calling your mom a whore!
Girls, girls! We can't live without!
One minute we miss em, the next we want out!
We hold em, we squeeze em, we twirl them about!
And we just can not wait to get out on the town!
Girls, girls! We can′t live without!
One minute we miss em, the next we want out!
We hold em, we squeeze em, we twirl them about!
And we just can not wait to get out on the town!
She looks oh so sweet all wrapped up in her gown
No matter the weather, she′s always around
To lend me a smile or shoot me a frown
Whenever I come home with drink up me eyes
She's there to tell me off with a boot up me ass!
Girls, girls! We can′t live without!
One minute we miss em, the next we want out!
We hold em, we squeeze em, we twirl them about!
And we just can not wait to get out on the town!
I've got me a missus, she lives in the city
She may fool around, oh but damn she's so pretty!
For just 20 cents and a dollar I get
To tell her my problems and all my laments
Sometimes I′ll get lucky, but you know it′s a shame
'Cause each time I do it′s thirty dollars down the drain!
