The Return of the Sailor’s Alphabet!

A’s for the anchor that we never use,
B’s for the bow and the almighty booze.
C’s for the captain, he’s as drunk as can be,
And D’s for the dicks who sent us to sea.

(Chorus):
Merrily, merrily, so merrily sail we
No mortal on earth like a sailor at sea
Heave away, haul away, the ship rolls along
Give a sailor his grog and there’s nothing goes wrong

E’s for the ensign that at our peak flew,
F is for Frank, he knows what to do.
G is for George, he’s Frank’s best friend,
And H is for Hell, it’s where we’ll all end.

(Chorus)

I’s for the inside, it’s where we all sleep,
J’s for Jim’s jabbering, it keeps us awake.
K’s for the letter that’s 11th in line,
And L’s for the lifeboat that’s never in time.

(Chorus)

M’s for the mainmast, let’s hope it’s still there,
N’s for the nets, they catch all our fare.
O’s for an oar, it makes a good sword,
And P’s for the pirates we fight when we’re bored.

(Chorus)

Q’ s for the quests that we never do,
R’s for the ravens we cook in our stew.
S is for syllables, this song has a lot,
And T’s for the treasure that we almost got.

(Chorus)

U is for udders, they’re part of a cow
V is for vittles, our rations are low.
W’s for women, our money they take,
And X’s for something that starts with an ‘x’.
(Chorus)

Y is for the, yummy food that we eat,
Z’s for the zits we have on our feet.
This song may have been a big waste of time,
But now we have sung all our letters in rhyme.

(Chorus)
