Nol Coward — Has Anybody Seen Our Ship?

(Verse 1) "What shall we do with the drunken sailor?" So the saying goes We're not tight, but we're none too bright Great Scott, I don't suppose We've lost our way And we've lost our pay And to make the thing complete We've been and gone and lost the blooming fleet (Chorus 1) Has anybody seen our ship The H.M.S. Peculiar? We've been on shore For a month or more And when we see the captain we shall get what for Heave ho, me hearties Sing glory hallelujah A lady bold as she could be Pinched our whistles at the Golden Key Now we're in between the devil and the deep blue sea Has anybody seen our ship? (Verse 2) What shall be done with the girls on shore Who lead our tars astray? What's to be done with the drunks galore That make them pass away? We've got wet ears From our first five beers After that we lost control And now we find we're up the blinking pole (Chorus 2) Has anybody seen our ship The H.M.S. Disgusting? We've three guns aft and another fore And they've promised us a funnel for the next world war Heave ho, me hearties The quarter-deck needs dusting We had a binge last Christmas year Nice plum pudding and a round of beer But the captain pulled his cracker and we cried, "Oh, dear!" Has anybody seen our ship? (Chorus 3) Has anybody seen our ship The H.M.S. Suggestive? She sailed away Across the bay And we haven't had a smell of her since New Year's Day Heave ho, me hearties We're getting rather restive We pooled our money, spent the lot The world forgetting by the world forgot Now we haven't got a penny for the you know what Has anybody seen our ship
