Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink

That was the first thing she said to me

I was on dry land but I was back at sea

She was so pretty but she was so mean

C'mon boys, I'm sure you've been



[chorus:]

Na, na, na, na, na salty salty

Na, na, na, na, na salty salty



Hey mama what's your name, hey what's it matter

You just tied up from your long voyage

I'm sure gonna make you feel better

She was a beauty she was so good

Doin' her duty now it's understood



[chorus]



Hey lady, what's your game, hey can I play it

Everybody knows when the price is right

So just come out and say it

She was a beauty she was so good

Doin' her duty now it's understood.
