lyrics

Down on the quarterdeck and walkin’ about
There is a second mate so steady and so stout
Dreamin’ of his Madame Rouge, the girl he loves so well
And wishin’ he could go ashore and strike, strike the bell

Chorus:
Strike the bell, second mate, and let us go below
If you play your cards right, you’ll leave us all aglow
You haven’t done yer duty ‘till you’ve made a Maiden yell (Oh Goddd!)
We wish that you would hurry up and strike, strike the bell!

Aft at the wheelhouse, the cabin boy stands
Annie and Saber warm in his hands
If he fails to please them, they’ll send him straight to hell
So if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll strike, strike the bell

[Chorus]

Forward, on the forecastle, and on his hands and knees
A sailor lies with Lucky, tryin’ hard to please
Flint, she looks upon them, the tale to retell
And makin’ sure the sailor boy, he strikes, strikes the bell

[Chorus]

Down in the Captain’s quarters, and drinkin’ down his wine
Our Rouge has got him tied up with a ball of twine
When she’s finally pleased, she’ll do Saber for a spell
Cuz sometimes you don’t need a man to strike, strike the bell

[Chorus x 2]
