Donning full regalia
Strutting on the deck
A brave and handsome sailor
Was about to risk his neck
Rumour said he fancied
Some forbidden fruit
A pearl worthy of shanties
Prettier than any loot
So off he went to find her
Wherever she may be
The Captain's daughter
Dancing happily
And singing, la, la, la, la, la, la
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
And singing, la, la, la, la, la, la
Doo, bee, doo, bee, doo, bee, doo
And singing la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
And singing la, la, la, la, la, la
Doh, bee, doh, bee, doh, bee, doh
So the silly sailor
Drunken on his love
Began to serenade her
Underneath the stars above
Seeing he was smitten
She restrained a smile
And made just like a kitten
Eyes big to beguile
But then he took her by surprise
And fell on bended knee
And asked her if she'd be his wife
Or else he'd die at sea
And he sang la, la, la, la, la, la
Down on bended knee
And he sang la, la, la, la, la, la
Will you marry me
And she sang la, la, la, la, la, la
Else he'll die at sea
And she sang la, la, la, la, la, la
So yes I'll marry thee
Then leaping to his feet
He swept her off the floor
And kissed her till he felt replete
Yet still, she wanted more
But when the Captain heard of this
He flew into a rage
Poseidon would be jealous of
In any day or age
Still they sang la, la, la, la, la, la
This was meant to be
And they sang la, la, la, la, la, la
We'll be married out at sea
And we'll make la, la, la, la, la, la
Every single night
Until our tra, la, la, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la's out of sight
