Bill the barnacle sailor,
He lives on the sea,
He'll sail in a gale, full speed,
In a gale of ninety-three,
He's never been scared,
So the old salts say,
Of the storms on the deep, wide ocean.
He was born on a ship,
Way back in eighteen-seven,
He was brought up to sail a boat,
And he's been at it ever since.
He's sailed 'round the world three times,
And he's seen every ocean,
And he's never been lost, not yet.
[Chorus]
He's a tough old sailor,
And he's got a heart of gold,
He's always willing to help a friend,
And he's always true to his word.
He's a living legend,
And he's a credit to the sea,
And he's a true friend to all who know him.
[Chorus]
