Text of "Tha Mine Sweepin' Sailors".
Tha Mine Sweepin' Sailors

We are the minesweepin' sailors,
We need no special favors.

We fight one another,
We fight for each other.

We like beer and whiskey,
We like our women friskey.

When it comes to drinkin',
We do no double thinkin'.

When it comes to fightin',
Up forward we'll be ridin'.

When it comes to women,
You know who'll be winnin'.

We are a minesweeping sailors,
We have seafarin' tailors.

When you see us coming,
You better step aside.

For we are the minesweeping sailors,
An' we take our stride with pride.

I'll drink ta that!!!!!!!!
