The Sailor's Hornpipe

"We'll have another drink fore the boat shoves off
We'll have another drink fore the boat shoves off
We'll go to Mother Racket's & we'll pawn our monkey jackets
And we'll have another drink fore the boat shoves off

Not really a nonsense song, matterof fact it makes great sense to me, can really relate, just a few things about it that doesn't make sense, just don't get why there's a dance by the same name that's danced to this song & why the song's so short when the dance's so long & for for such a nice song & dance routine, don't even need an instrument just a hoof & a mouth.
