And now, me lads, be of good cheer
For Lundy Island's drawing near
So thump your bed and stow your gear
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Woo!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done

Now Hartland Point it is in sight
And on the port bow is Lundy's light
We'll be stoking up your fires tonight
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Woo!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done

A pilot gig is up ahead
To the weather, me boys, a-heavin' on the lead
Tonight we'll sleep in a dry feather bed
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Woo!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done
And when we reach that Wareham Quay
The pretty little maids will come down to see
With their long-tailed draws all over their knee
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Woo!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done

And now I'm safe and on the shore
I don't give a damn how the winds do roar
I've dropped me anchor, go to sea no more
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Woo!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done (Last time!)

Jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, you pig-tailed sailor, hangin' on behind
Whip jamboree, whip jamboree
Oh, sing 'til the work is done
