Passage to Grimsby

Sailing over the Dogger Bank, wasn't it a treat

The wind a-blowing 'bout East-Nor-East, we had to give her sheet

You should'a seen us rally, the wind a-blowing free

On a passage from the Dogger Bank to Great Grimsby

So watch her Twigger, she's a proper ju-be-ju

Give her a sheet and let her rip, we're the boys to see her through

You should'a seen us rally, the wind a-blowing free

On a passage from the Dogger Bank to Great Grimsby

Our captain he's a shangeroo, he likes a drop of good ale

The First Mate he's another one too, been seen in many a jail

The Bos'un he's a bushranger and he comes from the African Nile

You ought to look at our old cook, he seems so wopiti-while

So watch her Twigger, she's a proper ju-be-ju

Give her a sheet and let her rip, we're the boys to see her through

You should'a seen us rally, the wind a-blowing free

On a passage from the Dogger Bank to Great Grimsby

Watch her Twigger, as down the street she came

With painted lips and high-heeled shoes, Jenny is on the game

She is one of them Flash-Girls, and can't she cut a shine

She can do the double-shuffle on the Knickerbocker Line

So watch her Twigger, she's a proper ju-be-ju

Give her a sheet and let her rip, we're the boys to see her through

You should'a seen us rally, the wind a-blowing free

On a passage from the Dogger Bank to Great Grimsby

We're the boys to make a noise, when we come home from sea

We get quite drunk & full of beer, and have a jubilee

We get quite drunk and full of beer, and roll all over the floor

And when our money is all gone we go to sea for more

So watch her Twigger, she's a proper ju-be-ju

Give her a sheet and let her rip, we're the boys to see her through

You should'a seen us rally, the wind a-blowing free

On a passage from the Dogger Bank to Great Grimsby
