lyrics

Oh, Jimbo was a sailor returning from Jamaica
He had swiped the finest rums that they ever had a made-a
He has a wife and children, BY JOVE she would've killed him
if she knew that he'd been stealing the grog that he'd been sinkin'

He tasted the elixir, and he never could turn back
His past was pretty shady but his future's lookin' black
He was warned a thousand times but he would never see a quack
You can forget a hearty breakfast, just give him a bottle of Jack!

Oh is your betrothed the drunkard?
Does he drink straight from the tap?
What in God's name were you thinking
when you married that piece of crap?
(Oh give him a slap!)

He made it back to London and stole the gin from Gordon
He had gagged him up and told him "This booze aint made for hoardin"
Whoe'er his mistress be, I suggest ye go to sea, 'cause now he's
sailin' up to the Mull of Kintyre, pilferin' whiskey!

He tasted the elixir, and he never could turn back
His past was pretty shady but his future's lookin' black
He was warned a thousand times but he would never see a quack
You can forget a hearty breakfast, just give him a bottle of Jack!

Oh is your betrothed the drunkard?
Does he wear a drunkard's cap?
What in God's name were you thinking
when you married that piece of crap?

Oh is your betrothed the drunkard?
Does he drink straight from the tap?
What in God's name were you thinking
when you married that piece of crap?

Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is your betrothed the drunkard?
Is your.. is your... is yours that horrible, slithering piece of...

Great music. The t-shirt didn't meet my expectation though :( The print is way smaller and abstract than showed here on the image. Gnseblmchen
