Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ahoy, scurvies! (Argh)
Listen to this, then
[Verse 2]
It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, you should have seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis
[Verse 3]
The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another
[Verse 4]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 5]
Captain's name was Morgan
By Christ, he was a gorgon
Ten times a day, sweet tunes he'd play
On his fuckin' organ
[Verse 6]
The first mate's name was Cooper
By Christ, he was a trooper
He jerked and jerked until he worked
Himself into a stupor
[Verse 7]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 8]
Hold on, give us some bollocks
[Verse 9]
The second mate was Andy
By Christ, he had a dandy
Till they crushed his cock on a jagged rock
From cumming in the brandy
[Verse 10]
The cabin boy was Flipper
He was a fuckin' nipper
He stuffed his ass with broken glass
And circumcised the skipper
[Verse 11]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 12]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 13]
The Captain's wife was Mabel
To fuck she wasn't able
So the dirty shits, they all nailed her tits
Across the barroom table
[Verse 14]
The Captain had a daughter
Who fell in deep sea water
And by her squeals, we knew the eels
Had found 'er sexual quarters
[Verse 15]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 16]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 17]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 18]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 19]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 20]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 21]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 22]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 23]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
[Verse 24]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do
