[00:07.64]When I was hiking 'round the town to find a job one day,
[00:11.76]I saw a sign, "A thousand fools are wanted right away,
[00:15.81]To take a trip around the world in Uncle Sammy's fleet."
[00:19.87]I signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet.
[00:26.52]I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
[00:33.06]Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
[00:37.24]When my term is over, and again I'm free,
[00:41.42]There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
[00:49.55]The recruiter said, "The U. S. Fleet, that is no place for slaves,
[00:53.70]The only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves."
[00:57.88]But in the morning, five o'clock, they woke me from my snooze,
[01:01.98]To scrub the deck and polish brass and shine the captain's shoes.
[01:09.06]I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
[01:15.76]Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
[01:20.02]When my term is over, and again I'm free,
[01:24.19]There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
[01:32.55]Some time ago when Uncle Sammy had a war with Spain,
[01:36.60]And many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain,
[01:40.69]Not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means,
[01:44.75]The biggest part that died were killed by Armour's Pork and Beans.
[01:54.27]I was stung right, stung right, S-T-U-N-G,
[02:00.83]Stung right, stung right, E. Z. Mark, that's me;
[02:05.09]When my term is over, and again I'm free,
[02:09.30]There'll be no more trips around the world for me.
