The first thing we'll pray for, we'll pray for some beer
That we may have plenty to keep us in cheer
And for each pint we now have, may we have ten
May we have a bloody brewery - said the sailor Amen.

The next thing we'll pray for, we'll pray for some baccy
That we may have plenty to keep us both happy
And for each pipe we now have, may we have ten
May we have a bloody shipload - said the sailor Amen.

The last thing we'll pray for, we'll pray for some wives
That we may have plenty to last out our lives
And for each wife we now have, may we have ten
May we have a bloody harem - said the sailor Amen.
