The night was dark, the seas were rough
The port lay straight ahead, the booze ran out
The men grew tired and this is what they said
â€Captain if you cannot find
A place to set her down
Then you will be sleeping right along
With this vessel in the groundâ€
Well the jolly roger pulled through
And made it to the land
We disembarked, went into town
With vengeance in our hand
The children cried, the women sighed
The men just turned their heads
With a smiled we chatted loud
And this is what we said
â€Woho hoho raise them in the air
Knock you up and slap you down
And never seem to careâ€
â€Woho hoho another one for me
'Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
'Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people freeâ€
With nothing left for us to drink
The night was winding down
But still the girls were swaggering
And still hanging around
Oh mister can you tell me
Where I can find a man?
The only thing that you will find miss
Is the back side of me hand
Woho hoho raise them in the air
Knock you up and slap you down
And never seem to care
Woho hoho another one for me
Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
Woho hoho raise them in the air
Knock you up and slap you down
And never seem to care
Woho hoho another one for me
Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
