Oh so handsome, oh so strong
Tell me stories of distant shores
All night long
I shiver all over
When I see your lovely tan
And I can see by your clear blue eyes
You're a sailor man

Sailor man from polar land
Sailor man, come take my hand
Sailor man, take me along
Show me the Port-Au-Prince and Hong Kong

Sailor man, I hope you won't drown
I'd rather have you showing me Cape Town
You know your ways in New York, New York
Where we can go to bars
A strong blonde handsome sailor
Norwegians call you Lars

Sailor man from polar land
Sailor man, come take my hand
Sailor man, I'd gladly die
To see the ports of Rostock and Shanghai

Sailor man, sailor man
Sailor man, sailor man
Sailor man, sailor man
Sailor man, sailor man
