I yelled to the men, "Splice the mainbrace"
No hesitation to crack a bottle
Doesn't take long to see the grog blossom
Well deserved for a well fought battle
My sea legs escape me, flounder like a fish
A clap of thunder strikes me down
Dumbfounded, yet I live to drink again
Raise your glass of Nelson's Folly
A tribute to those we lost at sea
We stumble and fight, heave and spill our brew
So keep your rum close, thirsty be our crew
Another round of Nelson's Folly
I run a tight ship, but lost at sea
We stumble and fight, heave and spill our brew
So keep your rum close or we'll drink yours too
Man overboard
Another drunken fool
Many a drinking games turn swiftly into duels
Falling crew from the booms hit the ground
The men, they grab their mates and sing and dance around
"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done"
Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
