The bawdiest verse I've ever heard of Serafina goes,

Serafina's got no drawers I've been ashore and seen her...
She's got no time to put them on, hardworking Serafina...

The PC version that Stan has in Seven Seas uses "shoes" instead of "drawers," which may be soulful but hardly robust.

I think I heard The Shanty Crew (Chris Roche's old group) sing this song this way on one of their recordings.

Cheerily,
