The Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to find good seamen
Givin' allegiance to their captain.
By the seaside
At evening high tide,
That is a good time to impress them.
First, get 'em drunken; then, use your truncheon;
And then hit 'em hard. In the A.M..
When they awaken,
They'll find they're makin'
Ten knots in the Caribbean.

Shanghai your men;
Use your press gangs to bring you
Unconscious guys who come to,
Enrolled and in the ship's hold.

Shanghai your men;
They'll sail the world with lovin',
And Ben becomes the mate of Ken.
Shanghai your men.

Shanghai your men
In the crow's nest above 'im
Sits Tim's new brigantine bride, Clem.
Shanghai your men.
