The old sat at the window seat So he could watch as the went by And he from a glass that was always filled For the rest of us buy. And he would tell us about the ships that sailed When he was and strong. And when he thought we'd heard of his words He'd break into song. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Each and day he'd spend this way Until the of four a woman as rough as a dockside tough Came through the door. She'd up to that sailor And he'd shrink to the of a pin. And she'd and shout and as she hauled him out He'd say with a grin:
I've sailed the southern And the northern sea, But now me sailin's over, me boys, harbor time for me. I you call us Salt and Pepper, For an old I may be, But she may be pepper to you, me boys, She's as sugar to me. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Yes, we them Salt and Pepper, For the way she was And it she got as least as hot As fresh red does. And a bunch of the boys offers To protect him her wrath, But and every time, he would decline, with a laugh:
(Repeat Chorus)
I've had my broken, Not drowned, but bone-dry. heard my name be spoken, I've in the Devil's eye. The sea was my mistress, Now Pepper's her. But another captain, my tough old captain's were.
And you can have your ladies, I'm of old salt brine, And the gal you saw had in her craw, Not a lace of a spine. Sure, the old can get tough at times, But a sailor's I've been, And when a storm's about, you to ride it out, So you can once again.
(Repeat Chorus)
