The night was dark

The seas were rough

The port lay straight ahead

The booze ran out

The men grew tired

And this is what they said

"Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down

Then you'll be sleeping right along this vessel in the ground"

Well the Jolly Roger pulled through

And made it to the land

We disembarked

Went into town with vengeance in our hand

The children cried

The women sighed

The men would turn their heads

So with a smile we chatted loud

And this is what we said

Woahhh-oh

Raise 'em in the air

We'll knock you up

And slap you down

And never seem to care

Woahhh-oh

Another one for me

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free

With nothing left for us to drink

The night was winding down

But still the girls kept swaggering

And still hanging around

"Oh, mister can you tell me

Where I could find a man?"

The only thing that you'll find's

The back side of me hand!

Woahhh-oh

Raise 'em in the air

We'll knock you up

And slap you down

And never seem to care

Woahhh-oh

Another one for me

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free

Woahhh-oh

Raise 'em in the air

We'll knock you up

And slap you down

And never seem to care

Woahhh-oh

Another round for me

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free

We're the filthy vermin

That'll set you people free
