The old sat at the window seat So he watch as the ships 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 heard enough 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 every day spend this way Until the stroke of When a woman as rough as a dockside Came through the door. She'd stalk up to sailor And he'd to the size of a pin. And she'd and shout and as she hauled him out say with a sheepish grin:
I've sailed the oceans And the stormy 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 sweet as to me. Dee dee dee dah dah dah dee dee dee dah dah Dah dah dee dee dee dum.
Yes, we called them and Pepper, For the way she was And it seemed she got as as hot As red pepper does. And a bunch of the made offers To protect him her wrath, But each and every time, he decline, Declaring a laugh:
(Repeat Chorus)
had my body broken, Not drowned, but bone-dry. I've heard my be spoken, I've spit in the eye. The sea was my mistress, Now Pepper's her. But just captain, Like my tough old were.
And you can have milquetoast 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 girl can get at times, But a sailor's I've been, And when a about, you learn to ride it out, So you can once again.
(Repeat Chorus)
