Old Johnny he's seen mermaids when he run aground
They carried him ashore when he was shure to drown
They say old Johnnies mad seawaters turned his head
But he alone survived all his colleagues dead
Old Johnny's seen King Neptune in the wildest storm
He alone survived while sailing round the horn
He carried him to safety while all around him died
Now Johnny tells his stories at the old portside
Old Johnnies been at sea 60 years or more
Sailed a million miles f***** a thousand w****s
He's heard King Neptune sing he's heard the mermaids cry
They'll take him out to sea when it's his turn to die
They carried him ashore when he was shure to drown
They say old Johnnies mad seawaters turned his head
But he alone survived all his colleagues dead
Old Johnny's seen King Neptune in the wildest storm
He alone survived while sailing round the horn
He carried him to safety while all around him died
Now Johnny tells his stories at the old portside
Old Johnnies been at sea 60 years or more
Sailed a million miles f***** a thousand w****s
He's heard King Neptune sing he's heard the mermaids cry
They'll take him out to sea when it's his turn to die
