"Old Bloke Pickin' On A Banjo"

He bang, she bang, daddy shot a bear
Shot him in the stern, me boys, and never turned a hair
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Pat get back, take in yer slack, and heave away, me boys
Heave away, me bully boys, why don't ya make some noise?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Rock her block, chock'a block, heave the capstan round
Fish that flamin' anchor up for we are outward bound
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Out chocks, two blocks, heave away or bust
Bend your backs, me bully boys, kick up some flamin' dust
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Roll her boys, bowl her boys, give her flamin' gyp
Drag the anchor off the mud and let the bastard rip
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Whiskey-oh, Johnny-oh, the mud hook is in sight
'Tis a hell of a way to the gals that wait and the old Nantucket Light
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo

Hoo-ra! What the hell's the row?
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
We're all from the railroad too-ra-loo
And the old bloke pickin' on the banjo
