lyrics

Old Bonaparte was a funny old fool
he only stood five feet and had a broken tool
but when he sat on the old barstool
he could drink ya bully ‘neath the table

Aye boys ya gotta be hard
always pack a blade when you’re going to the bar
fly that flag let ‘em know who you are
and kiss them ladies when you’re able

T’was a balmy night in the south of France
Louise had the floor, Boney wanted the dance
We were all out numbered but we took our chance
and the town was burning by morning

If I don’t get me grog tonight,
I swear by god there’s gonna be a fight
If I don’t kiss them rosy lips
I swear by god I’m gonna sink this ship.
If we don’t make Paris by dawn
We’ll be crowned kings in the noon day sun
Louise ya bastard ya better run
and the rest of the world take warning.
