Yoyojoe – Born To Camp

This is another one of my favorites.
The key is the actions – bobbin (bend at the knees), swabbing (mopping action), hoistin’ up pants (pull up your pants), hoistin’ up sails (hand over hand action).

Men of the Sea

Men of the sea
Bobbin up and down like this
Sailing the ocean
Bobbin up and down like this
Well you don’t know how hard it is
Bobbin up and down like
Bobbin up and down like
Bobbin up and down like this.

Men of the sea
Bobbin up and down like
Swabbin up the deck like this
Sailing the ocean
Bobbin up and down like
Swabbin up the deck like this
Well you don’t know how hard it is
Bobbin up and down like
Swabbin up the deck like
Bobbin up and down like
Swabbin up the deck like
Bobbin up and down like
Swabbin up the deck like this.

(keeping the first two lines you add “hoistin’ up the pants like”, and “hoistin’ up the sails like”. So in the end you are saying all four lines at the same time in the song, just listen to the Audio Sample…
