Lyrics:

The night was dark
The seas were rough
The port lay straight ahead
The booze ran out
The men grew tired
And this is what they said
Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
Then you'll be sleeping right along this vessel in the ground.

Well the jolly roger pulled through
And made it to the land
We disembarked
Went into town with vengence in our hand
The children cried
The women sighed
The men would turn their heads
So with a smile we chated loud and this is what we said

Oooh Oooh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oooh Oooh
Another one for me
We're the filthy vermin
That'll set you people free

With nothing left for us to drink
The night was winding down
But still the girls kept swaggering
And still hanging around
Oh, monsieur can you tell me where I can find a man
The only thing that you'll find's the back side of my hand!

Oooh Oooh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oooh Oooh
Another one for me
We're the filthy vermin
That'll set you people free
We're the filthy vermin
That'll set you people free

Oooh Oooh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oooh Oooh
Another round for me
We're the filthy vermin
That'll set you people free
We're the filthy vermin
That'll set you people free
