"The Ballad of Lazy Jack"

(Chorus)

Yo-ho! The anchor's weighed,

Lazy Jack’s in the hammock, swayed.

The crew’s all working, sweat and tears,

While Jack just snores and drinks his beers!

(Verse 1)

We set out sail at break of day,

The wind was sharp, the skies were grey.

The captain roared, "Man every post!"

But where was Jack? On the rum he’d toast.

(Chorus)

Yo-ho! The anchor's weighed,

Lazy Jack’s in the hammock, swayed.

The crew’s all working, sweat and tears,

While Jack just snores and drinks his beers!

(Verse 2)

When storms rolled in with thunder's call,

The waves they crashed, the sails did fall.

We pulled the ropes with all our might,

And Jack? He snored clear through the night!

(Chorus)

Yo-ho! The anchor's weighed,

Lazy Jack’s in the hammock, swayed.

The crew’s all working, sweat and tears,

While Jack just snores and drinks his beers!

(Bridge)

We scrubbed the decks, we hoisted sails,

Fought off sharks and outran gales.

But Lazy Jack, not one to strive,

Said, “Wake me up when we arrive!”

(Chorus)

Yo-ho! The anchor's weighed,

Lazy Jack’s in the hammock, swayed.

The crew’s all working, sweat and tears,

While Jack just snores and drinks his beers!

(Verse 3)

Now Jack’s our luck, we must admit—

While he sleeps, we haven't quit.

He never lifts a rope or oar,

Yet somehow, we still make the shore!

(Final Chorus)

Yo-ho! The anchor's weighed,

Lazy Jack’s in the hammock, swayed.

The crew’s all working, sweat and tears,

While Jack just snores and drinks his beers!

(Outro)

So if you sail and hear this song,

Don’t let ol' Jack tag along.

For when there's work to do, you'll see—

Jack's fast asleep beneath a tree!
