Download D'Oyly Carte Opera Company - Happily Coupled Are We
Lyrics
Happily coupled are we,
You see —
I am a jolly Jack Tar,
My star,
And you are the fairest,
The richest and rarest
Of innocent lasses you are,
By far —
Of innocent lasses you are!
Fanned by a favouring gale,
You’ll sail
Over life’s treacherous sea
With me,
And as for bad weather,
We’ll brave it together,
And you shall creep under my lee,
My wee!
And you shall creep under my lee!
My wee!
For you are such a smart little craft —
Such a neat little, sweet little craft,
Such a bright little,
tight little,
Slight little, light little,
Trim little, prim little craft!
For she is such, etc.
