I remember this song from around 1950 in Southern Calif. The words I remember. First verse Save the kids and the women first then save the alcohol (SK&WFTSA) Second verse, Drink what you can find aboard but save the alcohol. Third verse, Throw the cargo overboard but save the alcohol. Fourth verse SK&WFTSA, Fifth verse, Save my watch and save my chain then save the alcohol. Sixth verse, They couldn't save McGinty but they saved the alcohol. Seventh verse, Ring me out and save the alcohol. I too remember Wild & wicked look in your eye, so I must have had the same 78 record as GUEST had.
