Lyrics
Out on the poopdeck, walkin' about Second mate Hawkins is so sturdy and so stout What he is thinkin’ of, he doesn't know himself We wish that he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Down in the engine room, workin’ on the pumps Leftie's gettin' oily and he's ready for his bunk He cannot find the spanner and he swears likе merry hell Wishin' that the sеcond mate would strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Up on the main deck, haulin' on the rope The brown boys look to windward and they are not filled with hope They see on the horizon, headin' in to swell Wishin’ that the second mate would strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it’s gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Up in the wheelhouse, Jason leads the band Holdin' a squeezebox in his cold and weary hands Plays a tune to tell us, ’We're sailin' into hell' Wishin’ that the second mate would strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Forward in the foc'sle head, keepin' sharp lookout Johnny Mac is bawlin' in his [?] Northern shout 'The lights are burnin' brightly, sir, everything is well' He's wishin' that the second mate would strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Down on the mess deck, Toby's out of bed Ready for the dog watch with a tricorn on his head Thinks about Demelza, makes his poor heart swell Hopin' that the second mate will strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Upon the main deck, Captain Cleave does stand On the hunt for mermaids with a spyglass in his hand What he is thinkin' of, we all know very well He's dreamin' more of chasin' tail than strikin' the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell Strike the bell, second mate Let us go below Look away to windward You can see it's gonna blow Look at the glass You can see that it has fell We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
