Sloop John B

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes

Sloop John B!

Sloop John B!

Sloop John B!

Sloop John B!



We come on the Sloop John B

My Grandfather and me

Around Nassau Twon we did rome

Drinkin' all night

Got into a fight

Well, I feel so broke up

I wanna go home



The first mate he got drunk

Broke in the captain's trunk

The constable had to come and take him away

Sheriff John Stone

Why don't you leave me alone

Well, I feel so broke up

I wanna go home



So hoist up the John B sail

See how the main sail sets

Call for the Captain ashore

Let me go home

Let me go home

I wanna go home, yeah yeah

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home



The poor cook, he caught the shits

And threw away all my grits

Then, he took and ate up all of my corn

Let me go home

(Let me go home)

I really wanna go home

(Hoist up the John B sail)

(Hoist up the John B)

This is the worst trip I've ever been on



So hoist up the John B sail

See how the main sail sets

Call for the Captain ashore

Let me go home

Let me go home

I wanna go home, yeah yeah

I feel so broke up

I wanna go home

(I wanna go home)

I wanna go home

(I wanna go home)

I wanna go home
