Pump me boys, pump her dry
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your back and break your bones
We’re just a thousand miles from home
They say life has its ups and downs
That really now is quite profound
I’d like to push the capstan round
But it’s pump me boys before we drown
The captain's daughter I suppose
Could be called an English Rose
What would you think when I propose
The pox she gave to me a dose.
This rose well she did prick me sore
I never felt so bad before
Thanks to the girl I do adore
I thought I'd never pump no more.
I called the doctor right away
To find out what he had to say
That's two pounds ten, get on your way
I'm sure this girl is in his pay.
Sometimes while lying in me bed
And thinking of me day ahead
I wish that I could wake up dead
But pumpin's all I get instead
The ocean we all do adore
So come on lads let's pump some more
Don't worry if you’re stiff and sore
I'm sure we've pumped this bit before..
There's so much water down below
Just how it got there I don't know
The old man says let's roll and go
But I think we're bound for Davey Jones.
