Ranzo was no sailor--Chorus (very hearty) Ranzo, Ranzo. He shipped with Captain Tailor, Ranzo, Ranzo. He could not do his duties, Ranzo, Ranzo. They took him to the guard-house, Ranzo, Ranzo. He ate up all the codfish, Ranzo, Ranzo. They took him to the gangway, Ranzo, Ranzo. They gave him six and tharty, Ranzo, Ranzo. [sic]
