When a sailor came towards me,
G A
he had long and shaggy hair,
D Bm
And he looked for all the world as though
G A
He didn’t have a care
D Bm G A
And he said, why are you looking at me?
D Bm G A
I said, well it’s your uniform, you really look a scruff.
D Bm
He said, see me in me civvies mate,

And when I put me BRUT on,

I smell just like a puff,

I’m a smoothie from RND.
