[Voice] 'All hands on the deck!' 'Ye gotten here to witness the royal fleet's punishment for the deckhand upbringing!' 'With a Cat o' Nine!'
[Chorus] And ye Cat o' Nine is a dear ol' friend of mine For fighting every day with me hide I must pay A good whippin' now n' then helps inspire all the men As the officer on deck flays the skin of me neck
[Voice] 'For gambling away royal property The deckhand Hopp* has earned himself two lashes! Lash him!'
Me mother n' me father so much trouble must have had To teach their little son what is good n' what is bad N' they cursed me name - 'You ought to be ashamed!' 'Come here you little prick!' - N' they hit me with a stick
[Chorus] And ye Cat o' Nine is a dear ol' friend of mine For drinkin' every day with me hide I must pay A good whippin' now n' then helps inspire all the men As the officer on deck flays the skin of me neck
[Voice] 'For drinking heavily on his post The deckhand Hopp has earned three lashes! Lash him again!'
You see I learned to take a liking in that sting upon me ass I'm a naughty little boy :) I used to tell me pretty lass. 'I deserve to be punished, so put me on yer lap Upon me rosy buttocks, I want a loving slap'
[Chorus] And ye Cat o' Nine is a dear ol' friend of mine For gamblin every day with me hide I must pay A good whippin' now n' then helps inspire all the men As the officer on deck flays the skin of me neck
[Voice] 'For neglecting to keep his cutlass clean and sharp and ready for action The deckhand Hopp earned himself four lashes!'
But during her confession, me lassie sold me out If me father heard of this he'd have me killed there is no doubt So I ran from home, fast as a pistol shot N' joined the Royal Navy, where I get spanked a lot!
[Chorus] And ye Cat o' Nine is a dear ol' friend of mine Fer making trouble every day with me hide I must pay A good whippin' now n' then helps inspire all the men As the officer on deck flays the skin of me neck
[Voice] 'For sailing one of his Majesty's galleons into the Port Royal pier The deckhand Hopp has earned himself nine... ten.... I mean he can get Moses Law**, I don't care! Lash him!'
[Chorus x2] And ye Cat o' Nine is a dear ol' friend of mine Fer being punished every day with me hide I must pay A good whippin' now n' then helps inspire all the men As the officer on deck flays the skin of me neck
