>>A couple of corrections from an ex-Petty Officer Radio Electrical Artificer (Air)....... a Tiffy ^^ ROLL ON ME TIME :Chorus:- And it's roll on me time boys, roll on me time This is my last trip on the Grey funnel line So I'll say farewell to, the wind and the brine And sing you a song called 'Roll on me Time' Well first we've got 'Stokers', what work down below They give us fresh water and they make the ship go Well the ship's broken down boys, don't that sound fine But in the hot tap there's diesel, in the cold one brown slime Chorus And next we got Tiffy's, a cool bunch are these If you want to be one, then you'll need G.C.E.'s but to get G.C.E.'s boys, you'll need a brain in your head It's amazing how much work they can do from a bed Chorus And down there in Vernon they heard the bell ring They do demolitions and they listen for pings But the Sonarmen too boys, now are wearing a frown For what can they ping now the 'Criterion's' down Chorus And next we've got RP's with hands on their hips With chinagraph pencils and puckered up lips Well they'll get us there boys, what ever the cost Well where are we pilot?, we're bloody well lost Chorus And there stands the G.I., so tall and so proud His voice never made sense but God, was it loud Well now the old G.I. is all dead and gone They've give him his brains back and christened him 'POM'. Chorus Well me time it has rolled now, all the times that I had Sometimes they've been happy, sometimes they've been bad But I'll say farewell now and drink your health with me wine and hope that'll you'll join me in 'Roll on me time' Chorus
