I've sailed the seas, a hard sea dog to please. Tattooed on my chest, is the girl I love best. Back in 1954, on leave in old Singapore I was soaking in gin, when Miss Foxy walked in. She's my Singapore silk torpedo, Wearing high satin non stick lip glow, I fell a victim to this female hipno, She's my Singapore silk torpedo. She drives a Mercedes, she's queen of the ladies, My China seas sweetheart, she tears me apart. She's my Singapore silk torpedo. You speak of love to her, a smile cracks her face, She doesn't believe in rules, to her it's just a race. She's seen both black and white, You shouldn't go out tonight Unless you me in to play it mean. She's like a spike in the head, I'd be better off dead, Just can't shake her loose. Now I'm hooked on this juice We'll build a house on the cliff, A small navy our gift, Passing ships in the night, Anchored safe we're alright. She's my Singapore silk torpedo.
