Steeleye Span - Senior Service lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Senior Service lyrics]
Kemp-Prior
Sally's in the alley and Nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
See the bold man-of-war steaming into port
Guns fully primed, the 24-pounder sort
And down on the deck for a full broadside
Back on the high seas with the rising tide
Here's a little steam ship
Chugging up the channel
Small smoke stack and a red smoking funnel
He brings the girls presents
Of stockings and tights
Comes regular as clockwork
Every tuesday night
Sally's in the alley and Nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
Here come the sailor boys, matthew
Luke and john i like 'em with tattoos
I like 'em young and strong
Here come the sailor boys
A-rousting up the town
Their rigging is up but their sails are down
Here's a skipper of a clipper
With a broken bowsprit
Heading for dry dock and a new refit
There's an oil tanker of the modern kind
A thousand foot length of
Throbbing steam turbine
Sally's in the alley and nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
Here come the sailor boys, George
John and Paul i like 'em lithe and lissom
Like 'em slim and tall
Here come the sailor boys
Whistling up the quay
Blue peter up the mast where
All the girls can see
Sally's in the alley and nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
Sally's in the alley and Nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
See the bold man-of-war steaming into port
Guns fully primed, the 24-pounder sort
And down on the deck for a full broadside
Back on the high seas with the rising tide
Here's a little steam ship
Chugging up the channel
Small smoke stack and a red smoking funnel
He brings the girls presents
Of stockings and tights
Comes regular as clockwork
Every tuesday night
Sally's in the alley and Nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
Here come the sailor boys, matthew
Luke and john i like 'em with tattoos
I like 'em young and strong
Here come the sailor boys
A-rousting up the town
Their rigging is up but their sails are down
Here's a skipper of a clipper
With a broken bowsprit
Heading for dry dock and a new refit
There's an oil tanker of the modern kind
A thousand foot length of
Throbbing steam turbine
Sally's in the alley and nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
Here come the sailor boys, George

Sally's in the alley and nancy's on the game
Emily is pregnant and wondering who to blame
We raise our port and lemon and toast a reply
That the senior service satisfy
