My arms aching, back´s breaking, legs aching neck
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck.
Flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
Though the wind´s steady strong with no clouds in the skies.

The ropes creaking, ship´s leaking, sails are on fire,
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre.
We´ve got smiles on our faces, but we´ve seen this before
No telling just now what we have in store.

The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors
Running low on the rum and depleting our stores
Can´t tell who´s on our side and who´s ready to flip
When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship.

With the moods flaring, crew´s glaring, cut-throats the lot
With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot
We´ve worked hard on this journey, but there´s no land in sight
And before it´s all ended there could be a fight.

My arms aching, back´s breaking, legs aching neck
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck.
Flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
Though the wind´s steady strong with no clouds in the skies.

The ropes creaking, ship´s leaking, sails are on fire,
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre.
We´ve got smiles on our faces, but we´ve seen this before
No telling just now what we have in store.
