here's another version, from the kipper family

Oh, sailor, sailor, won't you marry me
With your smile so sunny Jim
Oh no nice girl I cannot marry you
For I have no teeth to put in
So off she went to her grandfather's glass
And fished out some teeth of the very highest class
And the sailor put them in

Oh, sailor, sailor, won't you marry me
With your rambling rolling gait
Oh no nice girl I cannot marry you
For I'm one leg short of a set
So off she went to her grandfather's table
And cut off a leg that was very, very stable
And the sailor screwed it in

Oh, sailor, sailor, won't you marry me
With your pigtail down your back
Oh no nice girl I cannot marry you
For it's hair on my head that I lack
So off she went to her grandfather's chest
And plucked him some hair of the very, very best
And the sailor stuck it on

Oh, sailor, sailor, won't you marry me
With your sparkling eyes so jocular
Oh no nice girl I cannot marry you
For you see I am strictly monocular
So off she went to the marbles her grandfather'd lost
And brought him a bullseye of the very, very best
And the sailor stuck it in

Oh, sailor, sailor, won't you marry me
With your great big marlin spike
Oh yes nice girl I'll surely marry you
For you're just the kind of thing that I like
So off they went to her grandfather's cradle
And there she discovered that
This seaman was quite able
And the sailor put it in
