| Lyrics: | Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!
(Heard from the Boarding Party,
1985)
We set out from Stamford town
With a fleet of stinkpots all
around
When from up aloft a cry came down:
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
It's good for
captain and for crew
It's the only drink you can look right through,
And there's really
nothing else will do ---
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
cho: So haul the sheets back with
one hand,
Set your drink down, if you can
And never sail out of sight of
land.
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
At Greenwich harbor we put in
For we were
getting short of gin
To continue on would have been a sin
"Tanqueray Martinis,
Oh!"
Our skipper's lying on the floor
He was selected to go for more
But he broke his
leg tryin' to get on shore.
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
cho:
Nine parts of
gin and one vermouth
It's the sailors friend, ain't that the truth
From Sheepshead Bay to
the Bay of Booth
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
Southhampton girls have figures
fine
Rigged loose in front and taut behind
With packing slips from Calvin
Klein
"Tanqueray Martinis, Oh!"
cho:
