Sailor iii
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, can't you stay?
Pretty lady, we got leave and we got paid today.
Pretty lady with a flower,
Give a lonely sailor 'alf an hour.
Pretty lady, can you understand a word i say?
Don't go away.

Sailor i
Pretty lady, you're the cleanest thing i've seen all year.
Pretty lady, you're enough to make me glad i'm here.

Sailor ii
Pretty lady, could i hear you laugh?
I ain't heard a lady laugh for i don't know how long.
I'll sing a song for you,
Tell you tales of adventuring, strange and fantastical.
Pretty lady, i ain't never been away from home.
Pretty lady, beg your pardon,
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

Sailor iii
Pretty lady, i'm a million miles from stepney green.
You are the softest thing i ever seen.
Stay with me please, i been away so long.
Don't be afraid … hey,
No, listen, pretty lady, beg your pardon,
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

Sailor i
Pretty lady, how about it?
Don't you know how long i been without it?
Pretty lady in the garden, what you say?
Can't you stay? … hey. wait, don't go yet.
Pretty lady with the pretty bow,
Please don't go, it's early.
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

All sailors
Pretty lady, look, i'm on my knees,
Pretty please.
