I really need the words to that salty limerick “Barnacle Bill the Sailor”.
“Who’s that knocking at my door?” (tum tum tum) (sang in high voice)
(repeats 2x)
“said the sweet young maiden”
“It’s me,myself & nobody else, cried Barnacle Balls the Sailor” ( said in loud baritone)
(repeat)
Is this what you mean? Note it’s “Balls”, not “Bill”. I could go on, but I don’t remember it all. Maybe somebody could post a link, and save me the time & embarrassment. 
It’s a 2 part song where you get the youngest sweetest new recruit to sing the part of the ‘fair young maiden’ and the roughest hairy-arsed drunk you can find to sing Barnacle Bills part.
On board ship finding the latter is easy but the former can require a little bit of imagination.
Do you really want the rough unexpurgated version of it, it is pretty strong?I don’t know the more polite version of it.
I’d like to see the dirty version, casdave. Here is the clean version as sung in an old Betty Boop cartoon:
3x:Who’s that knocking at my door?
Cried the fair young maiden?
It’s only me from over the sea;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I’m all lit up like a Christmas tree;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I’ll sail the sea until I croak,
I fight and swear and drink and smoke,
But I can’t swim a bloomin’ stroke;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
3x:Are you young and handsome, sir?
Cried the fair young maiden.
I’m old and rough and dirty and tough,
Said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I never can get drunk enough;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I drink my whiskey when I can,
Whiskey from an old tin can,
For whiskey is the life of man,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
3x:I’ll come down and let you in,
Cried the fair young maiden.
Well, hurry before I bust in the door,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I’ll rare and tear and rant and roar,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I’ll spin you yarns and tell you lies,
I’ll drink your wine and eat your pies,
I’ll pinch your cheeks and black your eyes,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
3x:Sing me a love song low and sweet,
Said the fair young maiden.
Sixteen men on a dead man’s chest
Said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum,
Sang Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
Oh, high jig-a-jig on the rolling sea,
And a hi and a ho, you’re the gal for me,
Hoorah, me boys, for the Nancy Lee,
Sang Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
3x:Tell me that we soon shall wed,
Cried the fair young maiden.
I’ve got me a wife in every port,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor;
The handsome gals is what I court,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
With my false heart and flattering tongue,
I courts 'em all both old and young,
I courts 'em all, but marries none,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
3x:When shall I see you again?
Cried the fair young maiden.
Never again, I’ll come no more,
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor;
Tonight I’m sailing from this shore;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor;
If you wait for me to come,
Sit and wait and suck on your thumb,
You’ll wait until the cows come home;
I’m Barnacle Bill, the Sailor!
All I could find was the first and last verses of the dirty version. See this site, a regular cultural treasure.
Y’know I looked at that site and I find it sad that they are asking for money to get a copy of the word to those songs
What I find more disturbing, however, is that I know a good few of them plus one or two more .
Some of the songs have so many verses it’s impossible to remember them all and if you are running short you are allowed to make tham up to suit the occasion.
Here are the ones I do know,
The Lobster
The Engineer
Dinah
Aluette(which is a drinking song-you are supposed to take a swig just as you start the chrus)
3 German Officers - many variations but really it’s a schoolboy thing
All Queers together - is better known as The Eton Boating Song
Good Ship Venus - God alone knows how many verses to this
Fuck 'em all
Roll me over - A dirty song for those who don’t know any
Woodpecker song - Not done much but I know all of it
Old King Cole
Then there are those that I know chunks of.
S’wat Navy life does for you!
Some more of the unexpurgated lyrics are found here (below the cleaned-up version).
