The moonlight shone on a silver sea,
The smugglers rowed through the waves.
A light flashed out in the dead of night,
We answered with light from the caves.
When all was clear the boat drew near,
Bringing its cargo to land.
Tobacco and tea and lace and wine,
All of it contraband.
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Come let's rake the cheese right out of the sea
By the light of the moon!
See the giant round of cheese!
We shall be rich very soon.
Rake it - and take it out!
We shall live like kings!
No longer poor, that's for sure,
Fetch the cheese right in!
Rake the cheese right out of the sea
By the light of the moon!
See the giant round of cheese!
We shall be rich very soon.
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
Heave, ho, roll those kegs
The moonlight shone on a silver sea,
The smugglers rowed through the waves.
Then we worked on in the still of night
Bringing our goods from the caves.
