Today, I signed for
Goodbye my babe
I joined
The merchant navy
I'm leaving this shit-hole
For a pack of a hundred bucks
What a man would be ready to do
In order to avoid your face
Oh my Prince Charming
You never worked
And you're the worst wanker
The Earth ever endured
If it's true you're leaving
I'll settle on the beach
Just to see you fat ass
Sailing into the wide blue yonder.
You're so mean when you're drunk
And since you're always drunk
Well, you're mean all the time
It's like revolving doors
So yes I signed
To never see you again my babe
I have joined
The merchant navy.
Chorus =
[A drink , a drink , a drink for my throat is on fire
A drink , a drink , a drink for all the unhappy couples
A drink , a drink , one last shot for you babe
I have joined the merchant navy
Yes I have joined the merchant navy]
Off the coast in the North Atlantic
On twisted seas
Yeah I'm squealing like a pig
In thirty feet high waves
I am puking my bowels out
Because of seasickness
But I'm swearing on my own Bible
That nothing equals the Hell - Of having to live with you
Yeah right , my man
You think you're getting me crying
You , who's cheating on me , poor fool I am !
As soon as I turned my back
So yes I'm drinking my shitty life
Straight from the neck
Of a bottle of whisky
But you're the only one to blame, asshole !
CHORUS
Oh I lost twenty pounds since I left
Because of a goddamn dysentery
I'm shitting myself so much that the captain
Casted me off like a dumbass in quarantine
Oh it's too hot, it stinks here and I'm not a sailor
The sea is plagued with Somalian pirates
I'm nothing but a failure, you were right
But now please lemme get back home
Bring me back home sweetie , I'm begging you
CHORUS
All alone on the wharf
Of the harbour of Djibouti
I'm so messed up
So far away from my country
Even though you're a real madwoman
I got to resign myself to the inevitable
I'm taking the next flight
The very day you give me a sign
Oh you might as well come back
But don't be in such a hurry, my boy.
There's no fire on the ship
And in four years without you
I have been in great company
With the neighbour upstairs
Who's coming down every night in our bed
To keep your place warm
Last CHORUS
