lyrics

We come on the Sloop John B
The bandmates and me
'Round New York Town we did roam
Drinkin' all night, got into a fight
We feel so broke up, now we wanna go home

So hoist up the John B. sails
See how the mainsail set
Call for the captain ashore
Let us go home
Let us go home, we wanna go home
We feel so break-up
Now we wanna go home

The first mate, he got drunk
And made off with everything in the trunk
The coast guard had to come and take him away
Mister John Stone, make sure he leaves us alone
We're feeling so break-up and we wanna go home

So hoist up the John B. sails
See how the mainsail set
Call for the captain ashore
We're going home
We're going home, we wanna go home
We feel so break-up
Now we're going home

Now send all our things ashore
Let all the breezes blow
I’m so sorry but we can no longer stay
Good-bye to you, Tra-la-la-lu,
This is the worst trip since we have been born.
