One day we take a trip upon a sailing ship,
A cruisin' group are we, Caribbean Isles we see.
Puert' Rico look just fine, we go back there sometime,
And then we take a peek at pretty Martinique.
Our captain say to us, "Our next stop dangerous,
The rum's got twice the kick, you could get quite seasick."

One thing I know for sure, you won't know what you've done,
You've got to watch out for Barbados 151!

My wife she say to me, "Trouble I do foresee,
We heed the captain's call, we don't drink rum at all."
We went where forest grow, plantation portico,
But then we get big news on Jolly Roger cruise:
That captain one rule say, "The riggin' ain't for play,
But don't you look so glum, 'cause we got LOTS OF RUM!"

Chorus

We feelin' so alive, we drink a rum or five,
I havin' such good time, the rigging I do climb.
Captain bent out of shape, "Get down, you hairy ape!"
"Back to your cruise ship go, on legs like flamingo!"
So to my bunk I flew, I lose my whole I.Q.
'Cause when I open me eye, start thinkin', "Who the heck am I?"

Chorus
