Betty Boop sings Barnacle Bill from her movie Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Singing by Margie Hines.
Lyrics-
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Cried the fair young maiden?
It's only me from over the sea;
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree;
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
I'll sail the sea until I croak,
I fight and swear and drink and smoke,
But I can't swim a bloomin' stroke;
I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.
Are you young and handsome, sir?
Are you young and handsome, sir?
Are you young and handsome, sir?
[Cried the fair young maiden.]
I'm old and rough and dirty and tough,
[Said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.]
I never can get drunk enough;
[I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.]
I drink my whiskey when I can,
Whiskey from an old tin can,
For whiskey is the life of man,
[I'm Barnacle Bill, the Sailor.]
I'll come down and let you in,
I'll come down and let you in,
I'll come down and let you in,
[Cried the fair young maiden.
Sing me a love song low and sweet,
Sing me a love song low and sweet,
Sing me a love song low and sweet,
Said the fair young maiden.
When shall I see you again?
When shall I see you again?
When shall I see you again?
[Cried the fair young maiden.]
