Smack Head Jack

On his way to meet the man with the money
Wella smack head jack went a little bit funny
Bough a coat and a cap and a pair of shiny boots
And a walked into the office where they find the new recruits
In the office was a sailor with a beard
Had a mince in his stride and an accent that was weird
But a jack signed up with a flourish of his pen
And began his brand new life with a gang of salty men

Oh oh oh smack head jack x 2

Hes a sailor in the Navy
And hes under Captain Davey
Hes a sailor sailing on the daring seas
Hes a sailor in the Navy
And hes just a little crazy
But hes never know a life that felt so free
Felt so free

In a port where a naked Jack was swimming
He was jumped on and kidnapped by a clan of hairy women
He was bundled on a donkey with a strap on wooden leg
And it hobbled through the desert on that splintered battered peg
At a camp where the women used his body
He was kept in a cell but the prison walls were shoddy
He escaped through the dunes under cover of the night
And returned to his ship in the early morning light

CHORUS

On a day when the jumping fish were flying
Stood the crew of the ship as their captain lay there dying
Then a jack saw a lad who was running up the deck
From a desert weeks away he had made the mighty trek
With a note from a very hairy lady
He’d been sent to find his daddy who’s a sailor in the Navy
His familiar grubby face well it took our man aback
He was staring at a little kid who looked a lot like Jack

CHORUS
