He's been around the world and much of it was [bad word] 
He got a nasty little rash from a brothel in Tangiers. 
knife it missed his artery in a harem in Algiers 
And from a [bad word] in Rotterdam he got Gonorrhoea. 

Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career 
And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs. 

He lost a finger and an arm to a grenadier 
He lost an eye in Africa to a bushman's spear. 
He's been in wicked storms on all the seven seas 
He's had scurvy and the plague and tropical disease. 

Now he works the fairground, looks back on his career 
And anyone who's interested he shows his souvenirs.
