I don't stress how I dress👗because I live on a boat
But my favoured attire is peaked cap and waist coat 🧢🦺
with sturdy worn boots👢👢and a bright neckerchief 🧣
I thought you were getting frisky, When you rolled on me in the night, But the mattress was on a slant, When our mooring ropes went tight.
Goodness me what's that smell?
Where's it coming from ?
We didn't have eggs for breakfast
But something don't half pong...
