When I was hiking 'round the town to find a job one day, |
| [00:11.76] |
I saw a sign, "A thousand fools are wanted right away, |
| [00:15.81] |
To take a trip around the world in Uncle Sammy's fleet." |
| [00:19.87] |
I signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet. |
| [00:26.52] |
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G, |
| [00:33.06] |
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me; |
| [00:37.24] |
When my term is over, and again I'm free, |
| [00:41.42] |
There'll be no more trips around the world for me. |
| [00:49.55] |
The recruiter said, "The U. S. Fleet, that is no place for slaves, |
| [00:53.70] |
The only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves." |
| [00:57.88] |
But in the morning, five o'clock, they woke me from my snooze, |
| [01:01.98] |
To scrub the deck and polish brass and shine the captain's shoes. |
| [01:09.06] |
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G, |
| [01:15.76] |
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me; |
| [01:20.02] |
When my term is over, and again I'm free, |
| [01:24.19] |
There'll be no more trips around the world for me. |
| [01:32.55] |
Some time ago when Uncle Sammy had a war with Spain, |
| [01:36.60] |
And many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain, |
| [01:40.69] |
Not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means, |
| [01:44.75] |
The biggest part that died were killed by Armour's Pork and Beans. |
| [01:54.27] |
I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G, |
| [02:00.83] |
Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me; |
| [02:05.09] |
When my term is over, and again I'm free, |
| [02:09.30] |
There'll be no more trips around the world for me. |
