Dockyard mateys children sitting on a dockyard wall Watching their fathers,doing f.. k all When they get older,theyll be dockies too Just like their fathers,with f..k all to do ( sung to the tune of Bless em all ) He was saying goodby to his horse, he was saying goodby to his horse And as he saying goodby to his horse, he was saying goodby to his horse. Goodby horse, Goodby horse. Well, we did get a bit bored at sea!!!!!!

Navy Songs
Two great songs from the Navys top-ten, Steve. I remember them well. How about...... "This old coat of mine, on the outside it looks fine, But on the inside its seen some stormy weather..."

I love to roam the hills and dales And along the river banks. I once trod on a young mans bum And a woman shouted thanks.

One of my favourites was the refrain from the Devonport Field Gun crew who sang "Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven. Feed me till I'm Six Foot four. Feed me till I'm Six Foot four"Guess what the tune was? Last edited by Steve Greenwood

Sing to the tune "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean"!!! JENNY WREN BRIDE Ive just come away from the wedding, Oh Lord I could laugh till I cried. Ill never forget the relations I met When I married my Jenny Wren bride. cho: Married, married, I married my Jenny Wren bri-iide, Married, married, I married my Jenny Wren bride. Her father he works in the dockyard, Her brother he owns a Marine Store, And as for their habits, well talk about rabbits Theyve yot half the dockyard ashore. I asked her old man for a dowry, He gave me a can of soft soap, A bundle of waste and some polishing paste And fifty-six fathoms of rope. The present we got from her brother Was twenty-four yards of blue jean, Her cousin, the crusher, he sent us note-paper, Six packets ot Service Latrine. Her family hung flags in the churchyard And they painted the hallway with flatting, When out steppcd the bride they all piped the side, And she tripped on the coconut matting. Her wedding-dress, lashed up with spunyarn, Was made from an old whalers sail. On top of her head a dishcloth was spread, With a spudnet in front for a veil. Her pctticoat was made out of hessian, Her knickers were made of green baize, While for her suspenders shed a motor-boats fenders And two pussers gaiters for stays. Now most of rhe church congregation Was made up of Wrens on the dole While in the back pew sat the six-inch guns crew And half of the standing patrol. The parson got up in the pulpit. He said, "Who gives this woman away?" Thcn a bloke from the Hood whispered: "Blimey, I could, But let every dog have its day." Well now, Im just off on me honeymoon, I dont know what happens tonight, But Ive spoke to a few who declare that they do, And they swear shes a bit of all right. From Cyril Tawneys "Grey Funnel Lines".....I have the book!!

Quoting: John Patrick Eugene Howarth Oh mister fisherman how do you do have you a lobster I can buy from you!!!!!!! The Lobster Song. Good Morning Mr Fisherman, "Good Morning", says he. Have you a lobster, I can have for tea. Well yes sir, yes sir I have two, And the biggest of the bastards I will sell to you. Singing Roll Tiddly Oh, Sh*t or bust, Never let your bollocks, Dangle in the dust. I got the lobster home, I couldnt find a dish, So I put it in the pot where the Missus has a p*ss. Early next morning, the old woman rose, Up went her nightie and she let the waters flow. At first she gave a scream, and then she gave a grunt, And she leapt around the room with a lobster on her c**t. I grabbed the poker, she grabbed the broom, We chased that bloody lobster all around the room. I hit it in the back. I hit it in the side, Hit it in the bollocks until the bastard died. The moral of the story, the moral is this, Always have a shuftie before you have a p*ss. This is my story, Ill tell you no more, Theres an apple up my bumhole and you can have the core.... It passed the censor!!

Heres one we used to sing a school song time in the 1940s. A "Sea Shanty" Ive never seen the like since i was born a big Buck Ni.ger with his sea boots on, Johnny comes down to Hilo, poor old man, Oh wake her Oh shake her Oh wake that Gal with the blue dress on, When Johnny comes down to Hilo poor old man. There were other verses about the Plantation Boss on a big black Hoss but cant remember it. We used to sit in the Science classroom singing this with some gusto whilst turning on the gas taps which was aimed at the junior boys sat below us. Happy Days. PS. Had not a clue what a real Black man looked like in those times.

Another sea shanty? The sexual life of a camel is greater than anyone thinks, at the height of the season it tries to get rove up the Sphinx, Now the sphinx's back passage is narrow, and filled with the sands of the Nile, which accounts for the hump on the camel, and the Sphinx's inscrutable smile. Sung to the tune of the Eton boating song. We were all in fine voice down at the Dockyard Canteen.

There was a lad called Aladdin who had a magic lamp.
He took it off a matelot who was fathoms up a tramp.
He stole it from a matelot too see what he could get,
and he rubbed and he rubbed and he ain't got f*** all yet.
Oh! Fah, lah, le lah, lah le dee, sixteen anners one rupee
feed of a**e on a sycamore tree oh b****r janner.
A sultan said to Aladdin, my palace you can paint.
Aladdin like a big O.D. said no I f******g ain't.
So off he went, with a one inch brush and a pot of black enamel,
and he shoved it up the a***hole of the sultans favourite camel.
Oh! Fah, lah, le lah, lah le dee, sixteen anners one rupee
feed of a**e on a sycamore tree oh b****r janner.
You make farce, kiss my a**e, make fast the dingy.
You make farce, kiss my a**e, make fast the dingy,
and we'll all go back to oggie land, to oggie land,
and we'll all go back to oggie land, where they can't tell paper,
from tissue paper, tissue paper, marmalade and jam.
Oggie, oggie, oggie, oye, oye, oye!
Oggie, oggie, oggie, oye, oye,
