Bring 'Em Down

In Liverpool town I was born, 

     Bring ‘em down

London is my home from home, 

     Bring ‘em down

Rotherhithe girls, they look so fine, 

     Bring ‘em down

Never a day behind their time, 

     Bring ‘em down


Around Cape Horn we go

All through the ice and snow

Up the coast to Vallipo

Then northward to Callao


Them Vallipo girls I do adore

Take it all and ask for more

Vallipo girls put on a show

Waggle their arse with a roll and go


I’m Liverpool born and bred

Long in the arm and thick in the head

Come and roll me over boys

Let’s get this damn job over, boys


When in Desolation Bay

Hanging around from day to day

Come ye winds, may long ye blow

Rise up ye bugger and let us go
