On board of a limey liner.

On board of a limey liner.
To me, hi-lo, me Ranzo Ray.

With a load of bricks and mortar.

With a load of German lager.

From China and the Indios.

And when we comes off Dover
It's then will be in clover!
To me, hi-lo, me Ranzo Ray.

When I come home to meet you,
It's with kisses I will greet you.
Ranzo, Ranzo, hurray, hurray
We'll roam the whole world over
Like a proper deep-sea rover.
To me, hi-lo, me Ranzo Ray.
