Who's the king of the fighting Dutch? Skipper Jan Rebec! Who do the sailors fear so much? Skipper Jan Rebec!
Chorus: And it's ja, ja, leave your hammocks Ja, ja, hands on deck! Ja, ja, break your backs For skipper Jan Rebec!
And who can furl a main top-sail… All by himself in a living gale…
Who brought all the tea from China… And sold it all in Carolina…
When he got a ship of his own… 'Twas brute force kept him on the throne…
Who takes three baths every year… Who can drink his weight in beer…
Who sleeps with four girls every night… One black, one yellow, one red, one white…
Who's the king of the fighting Dutch… Who do the sailors fear so much…
