Motley Words

Who’s the King of the fighting Dutch?
Skipper Jan Rebek
And who do the sailors fear so much
Skipper Jan Rebec

(Chorus:)
Ja Ja leave your hammocks,
Ja Ja hands on deck,
Ja Ja break your backs,
For Skipper Jan Rebec.

When he got a boat of his own
Skipper Jan Bebek
Brute force kept him on the throne
Skipper Jan Bebek

(Chorus)
And who brought all the tea from China
Skipper Jan Bebek
And sold it all in Carolina
Skipper Jan Bebek

(Chorus)
And who can drink his weight in beer
Skipper Jan Bebek
And only takes two baths a year
Skipper Jan Bebek
(Chorus)

Who sleeps with three girls every night
Skipper Jan Bebek
From Leigh Southend and the Isle of Wight
Skipper Jan Bebek

Ja Ja leave your hammocks,
Ja Ja hands on deck,
Ja Ja break your backs,
For Skipper Jan Rebec.
Ja Ja leave your hammocks,
Ja Ja hands on deck,
Ja Ja break your backs,  (Hold on)
For Skipper (Shout) Jan Rebec.
