Lyrics
Friggin’ In The Riggin’
It was on the good ship Venus By Christ, you should have seen us The figurehead was a whore in bed And the mast, a mammoth penis The Captain of this lugger He was a dirty bugger He wasn't fit to shovel shit From one place to another Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do Captain's name was Morgan By Christ, he was a gorgon Ten times a day sweet tunes he'd play With his fucking organ The first mate's name was Cooper By Christ, he was a trooper He jerked and jerked until he worked Himself into a stupor Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do The second mate was Andy By Christ, he had a dandy Till they crushed his cock on a jagged rock For cumming in the brandy The cabin boy was Flipper He was a fucking nipper He stuffed his ass with broken glass And circumcised the skipper Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do The Captain's wife was Mabel To fuck, she wasn't able So the dirty shits, they nailed her tits Across the barroom table The Captain had a daughter Who fell in deep sea water And by her squeals we knew the eels Had found her sexual quarters Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging Frigging in the rigging There was fuck all else to do
