I just realized there is a wicked pun that can be embedded in the second verse as follows:

Now we said we'd be aboard by ten - Umph!
Susiana, we've goofed again - Umph!
The bosun's a-calling, the capstan's a-pawling,
And we're three sheets to the wind!
Wake up, Susiana! - Umph!
Wake up, Susiana! - Umph!
We gotta ship out! (CHO)

I've recorded this "shanty" on UNCOMMON SAILOR SONGS in 2003 and you can hear a MP3 sample at my personal website: Click here and search for lyrics!
