Skipper Jan Rebek - Live Recording by The Exmouth Shanty Men Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who's the king of the Fighting Dutch?
Skipper Jan Rebek!
And who do the sailors fear so much?
Skipper Jan Rebeck!

[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck

[Verse 2]
And when he got a boat of his own
Skipper Jan Rebek!
It was brute force kept him on the throne
Skipper Jan Rebek!

[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck
[Verse 3]
And who brought all the tea from China?
Skipper Jan Rebek!
And sold it all in the Carolina?
Skipper Jan Rebek!

[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck

[Verse 4]
And who can drink his weight in beer?
Skipper Jan Rebek!
And only takes two baths a year?
Skipper Jan Rebek!

[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck

[Verse 5]
And who can kiss four girls every night?
Skipper Jan Rebek!
One black, one pink, one yellow, one white
Skipper Jan Rebek!
[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck

[Verse 6]
And who's the king of the Fighting Dutch?
Skipper Jan Rebek!
And who do the sailors fear so much?
Skipper Jan Rebeck!

[Chorus]
And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks
Ja, ja, hands on deck
Ja, ja, break your backs
For skipper Jan Rebeck
