I was walking through the dockyard in a panic,
When I met a Mayelot old and grey,
He'd a kitbag on his back and shiped a hammock,
And this is what I heard him say.
Oh i wonder yes I wonder has the joss man make a blunder
When hemade this draft chit out for me
Cus I've been a barrack stauntion
And I've lived in Jago's mansion
And I don't want to go to sea.
Oh I like my tiddly oggie
and I love my figgy duff,
And I always say goodmorning to the chief,
(Good morning chief)
Oh I wonder yes I wonder
Did the Jossman make a blunder,
When he made this draft chit out for me
