"Shanghai Brown, Shanghai Brown!"
The Skipper o' the Harvest Moon is rampin' round the town
Looking for some sailormen to beg or steal or borrow —
Can't get a crew an' he wants to sail tomorrow!
"Prime seamen's very scarce just now — but where's his money down,
An' I'll see what I can do for him," says Shanghai Brown.

Be careful, Barry! Before you know it you could wake up with a big fat aching head miles out at sea on a big three skys'l yarder, at the tender mercy of some bucko mate and his greaser and striker.

Beware the Old Ship Saloon!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
