Now, if you want a merchant ship to sail the sea at large
We'll not have any trouble if ye have a good discharge,
Signed by the Board o' Trade an' ev'rything exact,
For there's nothin' done on a Limejuice ship contrary to the Act.

So haul, boys, yer weather main brace an' ease a-way yer lee
Hoist jibs an' tops'ls lads an' let the ship go free,
Hurrah, boys, hurrah! We'll sing this Jubilee,
Damn and bugger the Navy, boys, A merchant ship for me!

Now when ye join a merchant ship ye'll hear yer Articles read.
They'll tell ye of yer beef an'pork, yer butter an' yer bread,
Yer sugar, tea an' coffee, boys, yer peas an' beans exact,
Yer limejuice an' vinegar, boys, according to the Act.

So haul, boys, yer weather main brace an' ease a-way yer lee
Hoist jibs an' tops'ls lads an' let the ship go free,
Hurrah, boys, hurrah! We'll sing this Jubilee,
Damn and bugger the Navy, boys, A merchant ship for me!

Now, 'watch and watch' the first day out is contrary to the Act,
At ten days out yez all lay-aft to get your lime-juice whack,
Fetch out your "Handy Billy", boys, and clap it on the tack,
For we're going to raise the mainsail all according to The Act

So haul, boys, yer weather main brace an' ease a-way yer lee
Hoist jibs an' tops'ls lads an' let the ship go free,
Hurrah, boys, hurrah! We'll sing this Jubilee,
Damn and bugger the Navy, boys, A merchant ship for me!

It's up on deck, m'bully boys, with many's the curse we go,
Awaiting for eight bells to strike that we might go below,
Eight bells is struck, the watch is called, the log is hove exact,
"Relieve the wheel! Go below!"; according to The Act.

So haul, boys, yer weather main brace an' ease a-way yer lee
Hoist jibs an' tops'ls lads an' let the ship go free,
Hurrah, boys, hurrah! We'll sing this Jubilee,
Damn and bugger the Navy, boys, A merchant ship for me!
