Barnacle Bill the Sailor

[Keely Smith]
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Cried the fair young maiden

[Louis Prima]
It's only me from over the sea
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'm all dressed up like a Christmas tree
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'll sail the sea until I crock
I'll fight and swear and chew and smoke
But I can't swim a single stroke
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

[Keely Smith]
Are you young and handsome, sir? (Of course)
Are you young and handsome, sir? (Certainly)
Are you young and handsome, sir?
Cried the fair young maiden

[Louis Prima]
I'm old and rough and mean and tough'
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I never can get rough enough
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Why, I can whip a dozen men
And my age must be a hundred and ten
And now I'm starting all over again
So let me in baby, open the door
I'm ain't gonna wait long

[Keely Smith]
I'll come down and let you in (please do)
I'll come down and let you in (Hurry, babe)
I'll come down and let you in
Cried the fair young maiden

[Louis Prima]
Well hurry before I bust in the door
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'll rear and tear and rant and roar
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor

[Keely Smith]
You'll spin me yarns and tell me lies
[Louis Prima]
I'll drink your coffee and eat your pies
[Keely Smith]
You'll kiss my cheeks
[Louis Prima
I'll black your eyes

Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Barnacle Bill, that Sailorman!
