Pump me boys!
Pump them dry
Down to hell, and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
The captain's daughter I suppose
Could be called an English Rose
What would you think when I propose?
The pox to me she gave a dose
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
This rose well did she prick me sore
I never felt so bad before
Thanks to the girl I did adore
I thought I'd never pump no more
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
I called the doctor right away
To find out what he had to say
That's two pounds ten get on your way
I'm sure the girl is in his pay
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
They say life has its ups and downs
That really now is quite profound
I'd like to push the capstan 'round
But its pump me boys before we drown
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
The ocean we do all adore
So come a lads let's pump some more
Don't worry if your stiff and sore
I'm sure we've pumped this bit before
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
Sometimes when I am in me bed
And thinking of me day ahead
I wish that I could wake up dead
But pumpin's all I get instead
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
Yes, how I wish that I could die
The swine who built this tub to find
I'd bring him back from where he fries
To pump him until the beggar's dry
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
If Noah used him for his ark
Now wouldn't that have been a lark
From rising sun till getting dark
The animals all hard at work
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
There's so much water down below
Just how it got there I don't know
The old man says let's roll and go
But I assure we're bound for Davey Jones
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We're just a thousand miles from home
