Louis Prima — Barnacle Bill the Sailor

[Keely Smith] Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Who's that knocking at my door? Cried the fair young maiden [Louis Prima] It's only me from over the sea Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'm all dressed up like a Christmas tree Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll sail the sea until I crock I'll fight and swear and chew and smoke But I can't swim a single stroke Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor [Keely Smith] Are you young and handsome, sir? (Of course) Are you young and handsome, sir? (Certainly) Are you young and handsome, sir? Cried the fair young maiden [Louis Prima] I'm old and rough and mean and tough' Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I never can get rough enough Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Why, I can whip a dozen men And my age must be a hundred and ten And now I'm starting all over again So let me in baby, open the door I'm ain't gonna wait long [Keely Smith] I'll come down and let you in (please do) I'll come down and let you in (Hurry, babe) I'll come down and let you in Cried the fair young maiden [Louis Prima] Well hurry before I bust in the door Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor I'll rear and tear and rant and roar Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor [Keely Smith] You'll spin me yarns and tell me lies [Louis Prima] I'll drink your coffee and eat your pies [Keely Smith] You'll kiss my cheeks [Louis Prima I'll black your eyes Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor Barnacle Bill, that Sailorman!
