A Port in Every Girl Lyrics by The Jolly Rogers

A Night at the Admiral Benbow Inn

2020

Ooh, Ooh
[Verse 1]
A girl in every port
Is my call to the sea (Here, sea! Here, sea!)
But a port in every girl's why
It's a pirates life for me
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 2]
The tender age of fifteen-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of Dusseldorf
A fraulein came to me
(Wait a minute, Dusseldorf? Isn't that a landlocked city?)
(Shut up.)
(Alright, shh, shh)
[Verse 3]
I checked out her lederhosen
And gave her my bratwurst (So she likes little smokies then?)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say (Ich bin ein disappointment!)
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 4]
The tender age of sixteen-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of ol' Bombai
A [?]Rani came to me (Spicy)
[Verse 5]
I stared at her Taj Mahal
While she charmed my snake
(How'd she charm your snake there, then?)
(Well, she grab my flute, blew on it, and popped right up)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 6]
The tender age of seventeen-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of Amsterdam
A lekker ding came to me
[Verse 7]
She gave me some wooden shoes
Showed me her two lips
(Wait no it's-it's tulips!)
(Ya tulips!)
(You've obviously never been to the red light district)
(I have! I had a summer internship there!)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say
(Best seven years of my life!)
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 8]
The tender age of eighteen-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of Tarancón
A juanita came to me
[Verse 9]
She invited me for dinner
And gave me a shrunken head
(A shrunken head! How was she?)
(Ravenous)
(oh, a real man-eater, huh? Huh?)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say
(So she likes little smokies too?)
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 10]
The tender age of nineteen-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of Stockholm
An Elsa came to me
[Verse 11]
She enjoyed my meatballs
And I dove into her fjord
(Hey, I took a cruise in one of those once!)
(In a meatball?)
(No)
(Oh)
(Okay, alright, so it's Elsa from Stockholm right? I'll bite, how was she?)
(Captivating)
(Oh, well that means you got to tie her up!)
(I didn't have to- wait, did you just make a Stockholm Syndrome joke?)
(... Yes)
(Highfive!)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say
(Let her go, let her go!)
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 12]
The tender age of twenty-years
I went into the sea (Woohoo)
And in the port of Thailand
A [?] came to me
[Verse 13]
She slithered down my-
(W-w-wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, wait a second. The port of Thailand?)
(Right)
(The port of, Thailand. Thailand's a country. No, no, that's not how this works. I want a city, and what she did. I want a city and what she did.)
(Fine, Bangkok)
And as far away as London-town
It's said you can hear me say
(I guess that says it all, doesn't it?)
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
[Verse 14]
The ripe old age of twentyone
I came home from the sea (Woohoo)
And all throughout ol' London-town
The ladies came to me
(Slut)
(Hey, we don't slut-shame here!)
(Oh, sorry!)
(Slut?)
[Verse 15]
They heard about my pillaging
As I stepped off of the [?]cane
([?] slut!)
And all throughout ol' London-town
It's said you can hear me say
(Doctor!) (Smokey!)
A girl in every port
Was my call to the sea
But a port in every girl was
Far too much for me
[Chorus]
For me, for me
As you can plainly see
A port in every girl
It's a pirates life for me
