Subject: RE: Origins: I'm not in the navy, a sailor boy I sit
We’re Johnson’s and dad had his own version long ago here’s what I can remember
I’m not in the navy Sailor boys don’t sit Ain’t got no one to keep me So I don’t give a Ship don’t sail very far To sea out from shore And they don’t wear those little bity skirts So you can’t call them Horse bridle and saddle Are the only things I sell If you don’t wanna buy them Then you can go to Helen is my girlfriend She drives an old ford truck She ain’t too great at drivin But you ought to see her Fumble fumble fumble She fumbles with my heart Every time I eat them ole navy beans It makes me wanna Forty dollars I will spend Spend no more of it
You better get up mr ole Johnson it’s time to move along
All around the house at night Nasty old dog would hunt Run his nose up a ladies clothes And try to smell her Come away You nasty dog Come away I say There ain’t been a man in the whole wide world to lay between her But I thank you for this glass of beer Thank no more of it
I said you better get up mr ole Johnson it’s time to pack this ship
