I love to play this one. It's great to get the audience to join in with and it's a lot of fun because of that. A radical sea shanty!

Sir Desmond was a wealthy man, a leader of the fold
He'd win respect and influence on account of his bags of gold
He said I want to see the world before my bones grow old
So he got a ticket on a sailing ship, its' treasures to behold

Jim Jenkins was a lowly man, a toiler from the town
He'd work each day for minimal pay all of the whole year round
He said I want to see the world 'fore fate should cut me down
So he got a job on a sailing ship and left the solid ground

chorus
Naa naa naa naa

Upon a narrow shipdeck saw a meeting of the two
Sir Desmond barked Get out my way and let your betters through
Jim said What makes you think that I'm a lesser man than you
But he waved his money in the air and pushed his way on through

Sir Desmond in his cabin he was building up a stack
While counting out his shiny coins he heard an awful crack
He gathered up his money and returned it to its sack
But the next thing he knew the ship was through and laying on her back

chorus
Naa naa naa naa

Almost noone from that ship was ever seen again
A distant desert island saved two very different men
One came ashore with a bag of gold, the other some food and then
Both could see their destinies were meant to cross again

Sir Desmond said I'm hungry and I really must implore
For you to share some food with me, I need a little more
Jim said What's wrong with your bag of gold you were pleased with that before
Ha! It seems that I'm the rich man now - and you're the one who's poor
