_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh please put your hands together for Iris and [G] Rose!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm officially shorter, there we go.
[Gb] _
Hi!
_ _ _ _ _ [N] Lords and ladies, I'm Iris.
I'm Rose.
We are wild and _ thorny.
_ Now you know that they put us over in the R-rated adults only tent.
And we understand that we're with a mixed crew tonight.
So we've decided [Eb] on a selection that we think will be innocuous.
Um, almost clean!
Almost!
_ _ _ And it's very [Db] piratical.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ The [B] ship sailed into [N] harbor after 15 months at sea.
The captain hit the tavern with his crew of _ [E] 53.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [N] _
After drinking up their pay, they staggered through the town. _ _
But all the inns and public houses turned the sailors down.
The captain said, fear not me lads, you all can come with me.
I led just round the corner and you all can stay for free. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But when the captain's wife awoke upon the break of _ _ _ day.
They _ _ _ say that you could hear her _ wailing, _ clear to body _ bag. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She _ said _ _ _ there's semen all [D] around the bed and semen on the floor.
And semen in the bathroom and _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Dm] fireplace and semen in the [G] hall.
The loom is carpeted [D] with semen wall to wall.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ There's semen in the entryway and semen on the stair.
And worst of all there's semen, semen in the [E] underwear.
There's some [A] more there and beneath the table [Am] too.
I [Bb] do believe there's semen gotten to the Irish loo.
There's semen here in [Ab] front of me and semen in the [Eb] rear.
And worst of all there's semen, semen from [N] the chandelier. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There's semen on the windowsill and semen in the yard.
There's semen even left to stain upon the safe by guard.
Although I am a patient wife, there's more than I can bear.
To wake up in the morning with your semen in my head.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
Do you wish to [Bb] see the [Eb] darken of my [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] eyes?
So clean up [F] _
all your semen.
_ _ [N] And come round my way, Marza.
So clean up all your semen and come round. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Party! _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ What a lovely sailing song.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
