Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bawdy words to Sailors Hornpipe?
Tiddly winks young man
get a woman if you can
if you can't get a woman
get a clean old man

From the shores of sunny Malta
to the island of Gibralter
you can carry round your balls, sir
in an old tin can

Do your balls hang high
do your balls hang low
can you tie 'em in a knot
can you tie 'em in a bow

Can you throw 'em on your shoulder
like a bloody British soldier
Can you do the double shuffle
when they're swingin' slow

From the songbook of Professor Mark Linenthal, SF State University
