35. One more trip to Bombay

Songtext in

The first trip was pleasant,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

the second trip was uncomfortable.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

The third trip was healthy,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

but the fourth journey

we all went to the dogs.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

One more trip to Bombay,

once to Shanghai,

one more trip to Rio,

once to Hawaii, oh Hawaii.

Once through the Suez

and through the Panama

back to St. Pauli,

Hamburg-Altona.

The captain gives me a sideways glance,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

the striker hissed one at the back of my neck.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

The boatswain is putting a weight on my leg,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

But the cook poured me a small one

from the bottle.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

One more trip to Bombay,

once to Shanghai,

one more trip to Rio,

once to Hawaii, oh Hawaii.

Once through the Suez

and through the Panama

back to St. Pauli,

Hamburg-Altona.

We saw a manatee and it was blond,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

we sunbathed among palm trees and polar bears.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

We survived many a port and many a hurricane,

Oh-ho, Johnny!

But the most beautiful girls

are on the Reeperbahn.

Oh-ho, Johnny!

One more trip to Bombay,

once to Shanghai,

one more trip to Rio,

once to Hawaii, oh Hawaii.

Once through the Suez

and through the Panama

back to St. Pauli,

Hamburg-Altona.
