I thought I heard the Old Man say,
Refrain: John Kanaka-naka, too-rye-ay!
Today, today, is a holiday,
Refrain: John Kanaka-naka, too-rye-ay!
Chorus:
Too-rye-ay, ooh! Too-rye-ay!
John Kanaka-naka, too-rye-ay!
I thought I heard the sailors say...
We'll work tomorrow but not today...
We'll work tomorrow but not today...
For tomorrow we must sail away...
Now, when you wallow around Cape Horn...
You'll wish to God you'd never been born...
Now, we're all Portland born and bred...
We're strong in the arm an' we're thick in the head...
Now, one more pull an' that will do...
'Cause we're the lads to kick 'er through...
