Lyrics
Over the sea, let's go men!
We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again
Nobody knows where or when
We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off again
It may be Shanghai,
farewell and goodbye,
Sally and Sue, don't be blue.
We'll just be gone for years and years and then
We're shoving right off for home,
Shoving right off for home,
Shoving right off for home, again.
