A rather silly tune about a lady who wants to marry a lifeboat operator, and so develops a cunning plan to snare and wed one of them.
[Verse 1]
I'm off to see my darlin' Jen
She's hangin' around the slip again
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 2]
She heaved herself into the sea
Screamin' "Come on, boys, come and rescue me"
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 3]
They launched the boat for to save our Jen
It was full of handsome lifeboat men
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 4]
They pulled our Jen out from the wet
And they laid her right down on the deck
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 5]
Then the lifeboat sailed from north to south
And the crew all gave her mouth-to-mouth
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 6]
And they puffed and preened for to win her hand
But she went below with a midshipman
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
[Verse 7]
She said, "My lad, now you saved my life
You can take me home for to be your wife"
[Chorus]
With your blue eyes
Sparklin' deep-sea blue eyes
Givin' the crew the old eye, oh
She wants a lifeboat man
