This is the "Long-Drag" form.
Show the Man
Out
A fine day
it was when we crashed in the bay
(Oh Rose
Show the man out)
A tug pulled
us in to the Lancaster Quay
(Open the
door and show the man out)
I scrubbed
my ship down and set her to drain
(Oh Rose
Show the man out)
When out of
the crowd their stumbled a swain
(Open the
door and show the man out)
He fell to his
knees and to my lady said
(Oh Rose
Show the man out)
I’ll give
you a kingdom for a night in your bed
(Open the
door and show the man out)
Alas my fair
lady was peeved by the crash
(Oh Rose
Show the man out)
And sweetly
informed me that she liked his dash
(Open the
door and show the man out)
She took up
his arm and she gave me a wink
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
And brought the swain into my ship for a
drink
(Open the
door and show the man out)
“It’s
big on the inside,” she said, “you can see”
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
“It’s
gorgeous, like you,” he said, twitching with glee
(Open the
door and show the man out)
She
drew him in further with her sauciest grin
(Oh Rose show the man out)
“We
don’t let just any fine gentleman in.”
(Open the door
and show the man out)
I
strolled on board after, my chest feeling tight
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
But
didn’t forget to put my ship in flight
(Open the
door and show the man out)
The take off
was rough on the swain I admit
(Oh Rose show the man out)
And so was
the railing that his noggin did hit
(Open the
door and show the man out)
The shock
broke the swain’s fine composure in half
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
Along with
his fine human-face-faking mask
(Open the
door and show the man out)
Up jumped the
fake swain to settle the score
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
While I
parked and carefully tilted the floor
(Open the door and show the man out)
My lady and I
shared a mad wistful grin
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
She reached
for the handle and pulled for the win
(Open the
door and show the man out)
Out flew the
swain, past the threshold to night
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
A ship
parked in orbit is a wonderful sight
(Open the
door and show the man out)
"You do pick'em" I said and she gave me a kiss
(Oh Rose show the man out)
She said, "Alien killers just cannot resist."
(Open the door and show the man out)
Be watchful
young sailor, be wary cruel men
(Oh Rose
show the man out)
Play false
and you’ll never be heard from again.
(Open the
door and show the man out).
