Port Song
And now I face the Naval Court of course
They'll see me hang of course of course
And by the docks hangs another white corpse...
That should never have come to this port!
Ten wretched weeks at sea
All for a days shore leave
A city full of sights to see
Like no one would believe
At the china House the Dragon toke
And three days later I awoke
Holy smoke I've missed my boat
I should never have come to this port
I should never have come to this port of course
I should never have come to this port
Never to this port of call
Never nay never at all

A maze of alleyways at best
This town's now written on my chest
From panther east to mermaid west
Under skin in Indian ink
Blackjack and rummy by the pier
I won my passage outta here
And traded it for a jug of beer
When I should've left this port
A royal dock sherlock sent after me
Lured to rouge lantern way
He chose to stay quite happily
They sent another for him
The lady boys and dancing girls
Corsets of bone lace and pearls
Pleasures for treasures from all round this world
That should never have come to this port
