To the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen
GOD DAMN THEM ALL
I was told!
We'd cruise the seas
For American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears!

My kid would ask me to sing him this for bedtime.
Years later, went in for surgery. According to the nurses, I woke up in the recovery room singing this out loud.
"GODDAMN THEM ALL..."

When I was young I'd always listen to the song in the car with my parents because it was the one time I was allowed to say "God damn"
