I was given this parody by a policeman in Portsmouth (it's a long story)
Sailor, Sailor
Oh sailor, sailor will you marry me? With your uniform so neat Oh no, nice girl! I cannot marry you For I haven't got any teeth!
So off she went to her grandfather's glass And got him a set that were really first class An the sailor put them in
Oh sailor, sailor will you marry me? Do you have to make me beg ? Oh no, nice girl! I cannot marry you 'cos I've only got one leg
So off she went to her grandfather's table Where she sawed of a leg so her sailor weren't disabled And the sailor screwed it in.
Oh sailor, sailor will you marry me? With your nautical gait so jocular Oh no, nice girl! I cannot marry you I've only got one eye. I'm monocular! (this is a GREAT line!)
So off she went to her grandfather's tin Found a gurt big marble that she gave to him And the sailor popped it in.
Oh sailor, sailor will you marry me? Or am I wasting my time ? Oh no, nice girl! I think I'll marry you, 'cos I'm feeling rather fine
So off they went to her grandfather's cradle Where she found that the sailor (seaman) was very, very able
