Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink
That was the first thing she said to me
I was on dry land but I was back at sea
She was so pretty but she was so mean
C'mon boys, I'm sure you've been

[chorus:]
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty

Hey mama what's your name, hey what's it matter
You just tied up from your long voyage
I'm sure gonna make you feel better
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin' her duty now it's understood

[chorus]

Hey lady, what's your game, hey can I play it
Everybody knows when the price is right
So just come out and say it
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin' her duty now it's understood.
