[G] On the good ship Venus, by Christ you should have seen us
[C] The figurehead [G] was a whore in bed, sucking a dead man's penis
The captain's name was Lugger, by Christ he was a bugger
[C] He wasn't fit [G] to shovel shit from one [C] ship to [G] another
_ And [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
the second meet was end, by Christ he had a dandy
[C] Till they crushed his cock [G] on a jagged rock from coming in the brandy
The third mate's name was Morgan, by God he was a gorgon
[C] From half past [G] eight he played till late upon the captain's organ
_ The _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ captain's wife was Mabel, and by God was she able
[C] To give the crew [G] their daily screw upon the galley table
The captain's daughter Charlotte was born in red harlot
Her thighs at night were lily white, by morning they were [C] scarlet
_ _ _ [G] The _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ cabin boy was Kipper, by Christ he was a nipper
He [C] stuffed his [G] ass with broken glass and circumcised the skipper
The captain's lovely daughter liked swimming in the water
[C] Her lighted squeals [G] came when some eels found [Am] her [G] sexual quarters _
[C] The [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
cook's name was Freeman, and he was dirty demon
[C] And he fed the crew [G] on menstrual stew and hymen's fried in semen
And the ship's dog was called Rover, and we turned the poor thing over
[C] And ground and [G] ground that faithful hound from Tenerife to Dover
_ [C] _ When [G] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ we reached our station, through skillful navigation
[C] The ship got [G] sunk in a wave of spunk from too much _ fornication
_ On the good ship Venus, by Christ you should have seen
[C] The figurehead [G] was a whore in bed, sucking a dead man's penis _
