(refrain:)
Whup Jamboree, whup jamboree
Oh a long-tailed black man come up behind
Whup Jamboree, whup jamboree
Johnny get your oats me son
The pilot he looked out ahead
The hands on the chains and a rattle on the lead
And the old man rose to wake the dead
Johnny get your oats me son
refrain
Oh, now soon we’ll pass the lizard lights
And tha’ stack, me boys, we'll heave in sight
We'll soon be abreast of the Isle of Wight
Johnny get your oats me son
refrain
And when we reach the battle docks
Those pretty young girls come down in flocks
An' it’s down with their knickers and up with their frocks
Johnny get your oats me son
refrain x2
