Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
Barnaby Briggs was a plumber by trade
With a wrench in his fist and a brain half-decayed
He’d stagger aboard with his boots mismatched
And a barrel of ale he’d already half-cracked
[Chorus]
He’s Barnaby Briggs
The leak-slaying wreck (hey!)
Spilling his drink while he’s patching the deck
Pipes all rattling
Sailors all cursed
Still the water runs right and the tank doesn’t burst
Raise up your mugs for the chaos he brings
All hail Barnaby Briggs (Barnaby Briggs!)
[Verse 2]
The captain yelled
“Water’s up to my knees!”
Barnaby burped
Said
“I’ll handle it
Please”
He hammered a valve with the heel of his shoe
Plugged holes with a sock and the cook’s Sunday stew
[Chorus]
He’s Barnaby Briggs
The leak-slaying wreck (hey!)
Spilling his drink while he’s patching the deck
Pipes all rattling
Sailors all cursed
Still the water runs right and the tank doesn’t burst
Raise up your mugs for the chaos he brings
All hail Barnaby Briggs (Barnaby Briggs!)
[Bridge]
He’ll solder a seam with his pipe in his teeth
Tie off a line with a bucket beneath
If something goes bang and the whole ship swings
You’ll hear a drunk laugh
“Aye
I fixed that thing!” (oh!)
[Chorus]
He’s Barnaby Briggs
The leak-slaying wreck (hey!)
Spilling his drink while he’s patching the deck
Pipes all rattling
Sailors all cursed
Still the water runs right and the tank doesn’t burst
Raise up your mugs for the chaos he brings
All hail Barnaby Briggs (Barnaby Briggs!)

Style
Rowdy sea shanty with stomp-and-clap groove, gang vocals on chorus, wheezing concertina, fiddle fills, and thudding floor toms. Verses stay half-spoken, story-forward; chorus explodes into shouted harmonies and call-and-response. Rough male vocals with salty ad-libs, tavern-room echo, and a final raucous group singalong., shanty
