<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)
