Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o’er, boys, and watch me drown
Let the whirlpool suck me down, boys
Hose me down, boys, hose me down

 

Now there’s one thing makes me angry
Never fails to raise me ire
When I wake up in the morning
And me hair’s been set afire, boys

 

Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o’er, boys, and watch me drown
Let the whirlpool suck me down, boys
Hose me down, boys, hose me down, boys

 

Well, I thought I’d write a shanty
But I’ve never been to sea
But I’ve seen Moby Dick twelve times
And that’s good enough for me, boys

 

Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o’er, boys, and watch me drown
Let the whirlpool suck me down, boys
Hose me down, boys, hose me down, boys

 

Well, I think I saw a sailboat
But I really couldn’t say
‘Cause I’ve never seen a sailboat
And it was very far away, boys

 

Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o’er, boys, and watch me drown
Let the whirlpool suck me down, boys
Hose me down, boys, hose me down, boys

 

Now I’m sailing on a sailboat
With a captain good and true
If you ask what kind of sailboat
Well, I haven’t got a clue, boys

 

Hose me down, boys, hose me down
Roll me o’er, boys, and watch me drown
Let the whirlpool suck me down, boys
Hose me down, boys, hose me down, boys

 

Now the ship is mighty crowded
With a hundred men and me
Who would live with a hundred sailors
That is why I went to sea, boys
