Here's another contemporary sea song on the topic:

Words by Talitha Mackenzie BMI (© Talitha Music Publishing, 1980
As sung by Roll & Go
Tune: "Whup, Jamboree"

Dramamine

Em-------------------------D
Now some don't eat a thing all day,
------Em—D------Em-----------D
Some pack a bag and snack along the way;
Em---------------------------------D
Don't matter much, you can do it either way –
-------------Em---D---------Em---D------Em
You're gonna up and chuck your roast beef sand-wich!

Chorus:

Em------------------------D
Dram-a-mine! , Hup, Dram-a-mine!
Em-----D----Em-------------D
Just one pill be-fore the even-ing sail;
Em-----------D----Em----D
Dram-a-mine! Hup, Dram-a-mine!
---------Em----D---------Em--D------Em
Or you'll up and chuck your roast beef sand-wich!


Now here you see our fearless crew,
There's Brett and Nor and Eli too!
We's all standing by just to clean up after you
When you up and chuck your roast beef sandwich! (CHO)

Now our green bucket's seen its day,
Tossed its share of spunk away;
When you see it coming best look the other way
Or you'll up and chuck your roast beef sandwich! (CHO)

Now if you've got some food to stow,
Just ask our mate, he'll tell you where to go;
Use the lee rail, please, don't spew it down below
When you up and chuck your roast beef sandwich! (CHO)

And here's a link to a MP3 sample of us singing it on our recording OUTWARD BOUND: Click here and search for lyrics!

Cheerily,
