Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
Salt fare, North Sea,
Weird stare, further than the eye can see
He had a head like a toy shop, bow legged stance off,
Must have been the rolling sea.
Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
Hull Fair waltzers, bopping to Brenda Lee
River boat jazz cruise, jiving to the Two-Nineteen
Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
Down there for dancing, come on Mr Chester please
Play “Delia’s Gone” for one more round, some old salty’s on his feet
Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
Salt fare, North Sea,
Weird stare, further than the eye can see
He had a head like a toy shop, bow legged stance off,
Must have been the rolling sea.
Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
