Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We sail all the oceans, we roam every sea
Raise, raise, raise your glass
We drink every potion, we pay every fee
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it
[Verse 2]
We touch every port, and we touch every bar
Raise, raise, raise your glass
We've seen every court and we've seen every star
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it, hey
[Verse 3]
We met Davy Jones and we swam away
Raise, raise, raise your glass
We broke some bones, and we lost our pay
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it
[Verse 4]
We sing for kings and we sing for peers
Raise, raise, raise your glass
We sing them gay as we drink their beers
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it, hey
[Verse 5]
So sink that grog and down that rum
Raise, raise, raise your glass
Bring the smog, there's more to come
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it
[Bridge]
What shall we do when times are rough?
What shall we do when we start to cough?
What shall we do when we're out of snuff?
What shall we do when we've had enough?
What shall we do when these dealers bluff?
What should we do when we're off the cuff?
What should we do when they string our scruff?
What shall we do when we are in the buff?
[Bridge]
My neighbour's shithouse fell to the ground, now ours is leaning plenty
Then my old horse through the ice went and drowned, now yours is weak and limping
So run to the tavern and spend your last pound, it's better to starve while drinking
Yes, reach for the bottle and pass it around 'cause tomorrow, it might be empty
[Verse 6]
We stink of sweats and we stink of groin
Raise, raise, raise your glass
But we pay our debts and we share our coin
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it
[Verse 7]
We're glad that you're here, and we're glad you sing
Raise, raise, raise your glass
We're pissed on beer, and we're on the swing
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it, sing
[Verse 8]
Wherever we go, there's a friend to be found
Raise, raise, raise your glass
So wherever we go, there's another one more round
Raise, raise, raise your glass, hey
Raise your glass and down it
[Outro]
And down it!
