Traditional
Backside Rules the Navy
[Chorus]
Backside rules the Navy
Backside rules the sea
If you want a bit of bum
Better get it from my chum
You'll get no bum from me
Cor Blimey
[Verse 1]
Let us sing a bit of good old Captain Kitt
Who sat one morning early in the head
A bee come flying past, stung him on the arse
And this is what the gallant captain said, he said
[Chorus]
"Backside rules the Navy
Backside rules the sea
If you want a bit of bum
Better get it from my chum
You'll get no bum from me
Cor Blimey"
[Verse 2]
Next, we'll sing some rhymes of Yeoman Second Grimеs
Who ran the hook that hoisted up the mail
Onе night as he stood watch it caught him in the crotch
And he cried as he went flying cross the rail, cor blimey
[Chorus]
"Backside rules the Navy
Backside rules the sea
If you want a bit of bum
Better get it from my chum
You'll get no bum from me
Cor Blimey"
[Verse 3]
Now, let us end our song and here of A.B Long
Whose member wasn't like his name at all
When asked if he would tell how he got on so well
His explanation was as I recall, cor blimey
[Chorus]
"Backside rules the Navy
Backside rules the sea
If you want a bit of bum
Better get it from my chum
You'll get no bum from me"
