<br />

Sailor Joe on the seven seas, knows all the port o'call bars<br />

From Bangor to Capetown, Shanghai to Zanzibar<br />

And the ladies they all love Sailor Joe,<br />

They love his pretty blonde curls<br />

Sailor Joe, he's a man you know,<br />

So he loves all the native girls<br />

(Chorus)<br />

Oh, those bright lights, Caribbean nights<br />

Drinkin' Puerto Rican rum<br />

And the ladies, they all line the shore<br />

Whenever the big ship comes <br />

Oh, those bright lights, Caribbean nights<br />

The sailor he's a little bit drunk<br />

And the lady in the bandana dress says,<br />

Hey, sailor, do you wanna have fun<br />

Sweet little Rita saw Sailor Joe, walking in the tropical night<br />

The look in his eyes set her heart on fire, she knew it was love at first sight<br />

Sweet little Rita and Sailor Joe, strolling along hand in hand<br />

Down through the village, out to the sea, to make sweet love in the sand<br />

(Chorus)<br />

Sailor Joe, he don't sail no more, give up his life on the sea<br />

To settle down in a little town and with sweet Rita get married<br />

Pretty soon, Rita and Joe, they have themselves a son,<br />

They named him Joseph Sanchez Miguel Jose' Daniel McMunn<br />

(Chorus)
