In 1580 we sailed our little ship

Around the coast of Africa down the Gaza strip

We took some salty bacon and a hammock for a bed

Then we mixed it with the Spaniards in the middle of the Med

Well Francis Drake said if you really want a fight

The best thing is to catch them in the middle of the night

We hoisted anchor and powdered up the gun

Then we sailed around in circles and just waited for the fun

M-E-X-I-C-O

Well cannon balls flew and the ship began to sink

The water started risin' so we really had to think

And then by chance stood a man as black as coal

So we grabbed him by the trousers and we plugged him in the hole

Well we fired from the side port and we fired from the back

And then we fired from the galley and through every little crack

We fired so much that the cook started cooking

Didn't have to worry so we flew the Union Jack
