ROLLICKING RANDY DANDY-O

Dick Dufresne
Kennebunkport, Maine

Now we are ready to head for the Horn,
Refrain:  Way, hey, roll an' go!
Our boots and our clothes they are all in the pawn,
Refrain:  With me rollickin', randy, dandy-o!

Chorus:
Well, heave a pawl, heave away,
Way, hey, roll an' go!
The anchor's on board
An' the cable's all stored,
With me rollickin', randy, dandy-o!

Well, soon we'll be warpin' her out by the locks...
Where the pretty young girls all come down in their frocks...

Well, man the stout capstan, now heave with a will...
For soon we'll be drivin' 'er right down the hill...

Well, heave away, bullies, you parish rigged bums...
Take yer hands from yer pockets an' don't suck yer thumbs...

We're outward bound for Vallipo Bay...
Get crackin', me lads, it's a hell of a way...
