Sons
of the Sea (Men of the Ocean)
Use an appropriate action to go with
the actions described in each verse.
- I've learned two different versions of this song:
Version One:
- Sons
of the sea, bobbin' up and down like this.
- Over
the ocean, bobbin' up and down like this.
- You
can build a ship, my friend, bobbin' up and down like this.
- But
you can't beat the boys of the bulldog breed, bobbin' up and down like this.
Sons
of the sea, hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up and down like this.
- Over
the ocean, hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up and down like this.
- You
can build a ship, my friend, hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up and down
like this.
- But
you can't beat the boys of the bulldog breed, hitchin' up your pants and
bobbin' up and down like this.
Sons
of the sea, climbin' up the ropes and hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up
and down like this.
- Over
the ocean, climbin' up the ropes and hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up
and down like this.
- You
can build a ship, my friend, climbin' up the ropes and hitchin' up your
pants and bobbin' up and down like this.
- But
you can't beat the boys of the bulldog breed, climbin' up the ropes and
hitchin' up your pants and
- Climbin'
up the ropes and hitchin' up your pants and
- Climbin'
up the ropes and hitchin' up your pants and bobbin' up and down like this!
Version Two:
- Men of the ocean, bobbin' up and down like,
bobbin' up and down like this.
- Sailing the ocean, bobbin' up and down like,
bobbin' up and down like this.
- And you don't know how hard it is, bobbin' up
and down like, bobbin' up and down like this.
Men of the ocean, hitchin' up your pants and, hitchin' up your pants and,
bobbin' up and down like, bobbin' up and down like this.
- Sailing the ocean, hitchin' up your pants and,
hitchin' up your pants and, bobbin' up and down like, bobbin' up and down
like this.
- And you don't know how hard it is, hitchin' up
your pants and, hitchin' up your pants and, bobbin' up and down like,
bobbin' up and down like this.
Other verses to add on:
- Swabbing the deck like, swabbing the deck
like...
- Hoisting up the sails like, hoisting up the
sails like...
- Closing up the portholes, closing up the
portholes...
- Hailing the captain, hailing the captain...
So the final verse of the song looks like
this:
Men of the ocean, hailing the captain, hailing
the captain, closing up the portholes, closing up the portholes, hoisting up the
sails like, hoisting up the sails like, swabbing the deck like, swabbing the
deck like, hitchin' up your pants like, hitchin' up your pants like, bobbin' up
and down like, bobbin' up and down like this!
Sailing the ocean, hailing the captain, hailing
the captain, closing up the portholes, closing up the portholes, hoisting up the
sails like, hoisting up the sails like, swabbing the deck like, swabbing the
deck like, hitchin' up your pants like, hitchin' up your pants like, bobbin' up
and down like, bobbin' up and down like this!
And you don't know how hard it is, hailing the
captain, hailing the captain, closing up the portholes, closing up the
portholes, hoisting up the sails like, hoisting up the sails like, swabbing the
deck like, swabbing the deck like, hitchin' up your pants like, hitchin' up your
pants like, bobbin' up and down like, bobbin' up and down like this!
