I Popped Out Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com I used to be a sailor, I sailed upon the sea, And when I was at home my wife was very good to me, But I commenced to worry and to wonder what she'd do, When I was off a-sailing out upon the ocean blue What if I popped out and I caught her unawares, Popped out sudden from the cupboard in the stairs, Popped out, popped up and took her by surprise, Sometimes me boys it's better to be ignorant than wise
Upon a Yankee whaling ship they called the Horse's Tail I told her I'd return again in six months or a year Then I hid myself beneath the stairs to see what should appear If I popped out and I caught her unawares Popped out sudden from the cupboard in the stairs Popped out, popped up, popped aloft to see If my little wife was mis-rable and lonely without me She had them by appointment in a red appointment book The bosun piped himself aboard, and played a merry tune And last there came the captain with his bloody great harpoon Then I popped out and I caught them unawares Popped out sudden from the cupboard in the stairs Popped out, popped up, and popped them out the door And I vowed an oath I never would go sailing any more
Who leave your wives at home to go off sailing near and far Myself, I'm a greengrocer now, my flat's above me shop And any time I have the chance it's up the stairs I pop Yes I pop up and I catch her unawares, I pop her in the parlor and I pop her on the stairs Pop in, pop out, and pop back to the till And you can take your bloody sailing ships, and pop them where you will Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com |
