Lyrics
Sea Legs
Well I’m no pin-up girl
We heard her say
Without a song for much to long
Hey Ho Hey
My husband’s sick with scurvy
We heard her say
I hid his limes and stole his dimes
Hey Ho Hey
Sea legs, sea legs
Sea legs are all you get
Just enough to make you wet
Tip your glass and let’s forget
The first and last time that we met
Sea legs are all you get!
My feets is long and narrow
We heard her say
A pinky toe is all I’ll show
Hey Ho Hey
Me ankle’s a wee bit bony
We heard her say
I’ll raise my skirt but just to flirt
Hey Ho Hey
Sea legs, sea legs
Sea legs are all you get
Just enough to make you wet
Tip your glass and let’s forget
The first and last time that we met
Sea legs are all you get!
I’m told my knees are knobby
We heard her say
I’ll show some calf but please don’t laugh
Hey Ho Hey
My thighs are ghostly pale
We heard her say
They ain’t seen light or even night
Hey Ho Hey
Sea legs, sea legs
Sea legs are all you get
Just enough to make you wet
Tip your glass and let’s forget
The first and last time that we met
Sea legs are all you get!
The finest legs we’ve never seen
Hairy, bare or in between?
Shanties are fine with pints o’ dram
But woman or man, gams are gams
You Hobos look so fancy
We heard her say
Now drop your pants and do the dance
Hey Ho Hey
Now come and meet my kitty
We heard her say
The softest fur, she loves to purr
Hey Ho Hey
Show me first, then I will too
We heard her say
Our pants were down but she was gone
Hey Ho Hey
Sea legs, sea legs
Sea legs are all you get
Just enough to make you wet
Tip your glass and let’s forget
The first and last time that we met
Sea legs are all you get!
All you get!
All you get!
