Amsterdam by AJ Roach For the You Tube video ** (not sure about this word/line...) In the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sings Of the dreams that he brings from a wide-open sea And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sleeps as the river bank weeps with the old willow tree And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who dies full of beer, full of cries from a drunken town fight And in the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who's born on a hot, muggy morn, 'neath the dawns early light In the Port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet there's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails He'll show you his teeth that have rotted too soon That could haul up the sails, that could swallow the moon. And he'll scream to the cook, with his arms open wide Bring me more fish, throw'em down by my side And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try So he stands up and laughs, and then unzips his fly In the Port of Amsterdam, you can watch sailors dance **Honchos burst in their pants, finding women to punch They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaked Spending the night with the roar of their joke And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust To the rancid sound of their accordion burst And then out in the night with their pride in their pants And the sluts after **two underneath the street lamps In the Port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who drinks And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again And he drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam Who have given themselves to a thousand other men And they'll trade in their virtue, their goodness all gone For a **pilfery of coins, till they just can't go on Throws his nose to the sky, and he aims up above And then pisses a cry for an unfaithful love In the PORT OF AMSTERDAM, In the PORT OF AMSTERDAM!!!
