The Man Song


Recommended Posts

I need the words to a Parady Pirate Song I heard years ago called (at least by the singer) The Man Song. From my recollection:

Oh, it's great to sail on a ship with men and sail across the sea o'.

With "name, name, name" and "name" and one guy we call Mary.

Any help out there?

Men, men, men, men

Men, men, men,men...

It's great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea, oh,

We don't know where we'll land or when, but it's great to be with men.

'Cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care, oh,

We'll throw the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair, oh!

(And clog the drain with hair, oh!)

Men, men, men,

We're a ship all filled with men,

So batten down the ladies' room, there's no one here but men!

There's men above and men below and men down in the galley,

There's Butch and Spike and Buzz and Biff and one guy we call Sally!

(And one guy we call Sally!)

Men, men, men,

We're a ship all filled with men,

You'll never have to lift the seat, there's no one here but men!

We're men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,

At night we sleep in seperate beds and blow each other kissies!

(And blow each other kissies!)

Men, men, men,

we're a ship all filled with men,

So throw your rubbers overboard, there's no one here but men!

Amen (prounounced "Ahhhhh, men!")

I think this is a song by Martin Mull. Heard it a lot on the Dr. Demento radio program.
