THE OCEANA ROLL
(Words by Roger Lewis, music by Lucien Denni, copyright 1911.)

Billy McCoy was a musical boy
On the cruiser Alabama.
He was there on that piana
Like a fish down in the sea
When he rattled off some harmony.
Ev'ry night out on the ocean,
He would get that raggy notion,
Start that syncopated motion lovin'ly;
No one could sleep 'way out there on the deep
When Billy cut loose out at sea.

CHORUS: Each fish and worm begins to twist and squirm.
The ship goes in a dip and does a corkscrew turn.
Just see that smoke so black sneak from that old smokestack!
It's floatin' right to heaven and it won't come back.
Now here and there you'll see a stool and chair
A-slippin' 'round the cabin shoutin', "I don't care!"
And then the hammock starts a-swingin'
And the bell begins a-ringin'
While he's sittin' at that piana,
There on the Alabama,
Playin' the Oceana Roll.

England or Spain, it was always the same:
He'd be there at that piana,
On the cruiser Alabama,
Ev'ry mornin', noon and night.
He would keep it up with all his might.
Ev'ry time he'd start a-playin',
All the boys would start a-swayin'.
Ev'ry one would keep a-sayin', "Don't you stop!"
Sailors, take care! oh, you sailors, beware!
For Bill will play on 'til you drop. CHORUS
