It’s little odds, <br>When every ’eathen ’as ’is gods, <br> And neither two will tally: <br>When black and white drink, wimmin, fight— <br>In these three things they’re all alright— <br> Sing rally! ri-a-rally! <br> <br>When double bunks, Fo’castle end, <br> Is all the kind that’s carried, <br>Our manners they will likely mend— <br> Most likely we’ll be married. <br>But till sich time as that be done, <br>We’ll take our fun as we’ve begun— <br> Sing rally! <br>The flesh is weak; the world is wide; <br>The dead man ’e goes overside— <br> Sing rally! rally! <br> <br>We’re given and lost to the girls that wait <br> From Trinity to Whitsund’y, <br>From Sunda Strait to the Golden Gate <br> An’ back to the Bay o’ Fundy; <br>Oh, it’s Mabel, Loo, an’ it’s Nancy-Poo, <br>An’ ’ere’s good luck, an’ I love you— <br> Sing rally! <br>Oh, it’s cents an’ dollars an’ somebody hollers— <br>The sun comes up an’ the mornin’ follers— <br> Sing rally! <br> <br>We’re given an’ lost to the octoroon, <br> The Portugee cruiser painty, <br>The Chinkie gal with ’er eyes ’arf-moon, <br> An’ the Japanee darlin’ dainty. <br>Oh, it’s Tokio-town when the sun goes down, <br>It’s ’arf-a-pint and it’s ’arf-a-crown— <br> Sing rally! <br>’Er spars may lift an’ ’er keel can shift, <br>When a man is done ’e ’s got to drift— <br> Sing rally! Ho, rally! <br> <br>The Hooghli gal ’er face is brown, <br> The Hilo gal’s a daisy, <br>The gal that lives by ’Obart town <br> She’d drive a dead man crazy. <br>So, pretty an’ plain, it’s Sarah Jane <br>’Uggin’ an’ kissin’ an’ ‘Come again!’ <br> Sing rally! ri-a-rally! <br>The seas is deep; the seas is wide; <br>But this I’ll prove what else betide, <br> I’m bully in the alley, <br> Ho!
