Whup jamboree whup jamboree
Long tail blackbird come on behind
Whup jamboree whup jamboree
Johnny get your oats me son
Captain he looks out ahead
With the hand on the wheel and the heavin’ on the lead
The boatswain roars to wake the dead
Johnny get your oats me son
Now brave boys be of good cheer
For the Irish coast will soon draw near
We’ll set the course for the old Cape Clear
Johnny get your oats me son
And now Cape Clear it is in sight
It’s Offaly today but tomorrow night
We’ll stear the course for Europe’s light
Johnny get your oats me son
And now reach the Blackwall Docks
Those pretty young girls will come in flocks
It’s down with ttheir knickers and up with their frocks
Johnny get your oats me son
We walk down Limelight way
And on them girls we’ll spend your pay
Not see more till another day
Johnny get your oats me son
