when i was hiking 'round the town to find a job one day,[00:00:07]

i saw a sign, "a thousand fools are wanted right away,[00:00:11]

to take a trip around the world in uncle sammy's fleet."[00:00:15]

i signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet.[00:00:19]

i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,[00:00:26]

stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;[00:00:33]

when my term is over, and again i'm free,[00:00:37]

there'll be no more trips around the world for me.[00:00:41]

the recruiter said, "the u. s. fleet, that is no place for slaves,[00:00:49]

the only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves."[00:00:53]

but in the morning, five o'clock, they woke me from my snooze,[00:00:57]

to scrub the deck and polish brass and shine the captain's shoes.[00:01:01]

i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,[00:01:09]

stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;[00:01:15]

when my term is over, and again i'm free,[00:01:20]

there'll be no more trips around the world for me.[00:01:24]

some time ago when uncle sammy had a war with spain,[00:01:32]

and many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain,[00:01:36]

not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means,[00:01:40]

the biggest part that died were killed by armour's pork and beans.[00:01:44]

i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,[00:01:54]

stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;[00:02:00]

when my term is over, and again i'm free,[00:02:05]

there'll be no more trips around the world for me.[00:02:09]
