[Capt. Pott:]
I'm famous Captain Pott,
[Chorus:]
Tin Pott! Tin Pott!
[Capt. Pott:]
A terror to the skuller and the lubber,
[Chorus:]
Lubber!
[Capt. Pott:]
A pretty toughish lot!
[Chorus:]
Fish lot! Fish lot!
[Capt. Pott:]
I'm little, but I'm steel and India rubber!
[Chorus:]
Rubber!
[Capt. Pott:]
I run an ocean tramp
That's dirty, also damp,
And shakes her rivets out when she's in motion;
[Chorus:]
Motion!
[Capt. Pott:]
But I will back my boat
With anything afloat
To race from point to point across the ocean!
[Chorus:]
Ocean, ah!
[Capt. Pott:]
They're all after Pott,
They're all after Pott,
The liner, the cruiser, the collier, the yacht;
But I put my steam on
And go like a demon,
And they don't get round the Captain!
[Chorus:]
They're all after Pott,
They're all after Pott,
The liner, the cruiser, the collier, the yacht;
But he puts his steam on
And goes like a demon,
And they don't get round the Captain!
[Capt. Pott:]
The ladies welcome Pott,
[Chorus:]
Compote! Compote!
[Capt. Pott:]
They flash around to fold me in embraces,
[Chorus:]
Braces!
[Capt. Pott:]
And kisses warm or hot,
[Chorus:]
Oh, rot! Oh, rot!
[Capt. Pott:]
I print upon their proud and pretty faces!
[Chorus:]
Faces!
[Capt. Pott:]
I'm loved by many a queen,
In Africa, I mean,
With all the tropic ardour of the Zulu;
[Chorus:]
Zulu!
[Capt. Pott:]
My fascinating smiles
Allured the Sandwich Isles,
And conquered half the hearts of Honolulu!
[Chorus:]
Lulu, ah!
[Capt. Pott:]
They're all after Pott,
They're all after Pott,
I cannot resist them, and so I do not!
When maidens are tender
I promptly surrender,
For they all get round the Captain!
[Chorus:]
They're all after Pott,
They're all after Pott,
I cannot resist them, and so I do not!
When maidens are tender
I promptly surrender,
For they all get round the Captain!
