Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Hello Captain, shine your stripes And stay warm when we freeze on deck Our troubles flow down our foreheads So hold the reins tight, you know the song Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better It's been ages since we stepped on land And even longer since we had women in our sights Too bad for the one who shows up first I'll tear apart the gangway, the hold, the stern Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Everything is etched somewhere on my skin So much that my arms are like photo albums Battle scars, empty bottles, knife stabs As long as there are counters, we'll have heroes Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven’t found anything better Three thousand miles from the cape, it's the nerves, it's the glands When your heart goes off course, and your guts ferment I try to think of slaps, of impatient girls Not of the boat creaking between two waves Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven’t found anything better Some rum, some women, and some damn beer An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven’t found anything betterSome rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Hello Captain, make your stripes shine And stay warm while we freeze on deck Our pain is what drips down our foreheads So hold the reins tight, you know the song Some rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better It's been a while since we've touched land And even longer since we've fooled around with girls in posters Too bad for the one who shows up first I'll dismantle the gangway, the hold, the rear deck Some rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Everything is engraved somewhere on my skin So much that my arms look like photo albums War injuries, bottle bottoms, knife wounds As long as there are bar counters, we'll have heroes Some rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Three thousand off the cape, it's the guts, it's the glands When your heart skips a beat, and your guts ferment I try to think about slaps, about girls getting impatient Not about the boat creaking between two waves Some rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better Some rum, some women, and some beer, for heaven's sake An accordion to waltz as much as we want Some rum, some women, that's what makes us happy May the devil take us, we haven't found anything better Oh oh oh oh, we haven't found anything better
Original lyrics
Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Hello Cap'taine, fais briller tes galons Et reste bien au chaud quand on gèle sur le pont Nous c'est notre peine qui nous coule sur le front Alors tiens bien les rênes, tu connais la chanson Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé de mieux Ça fait une paye qu'on n'a pas touché terre Et même une paye qu'on s'fait des gonzesses en poster Tant pis pour celle qui s'pointera la première J'lui démonte la passerelle, la cale, la dunette arrière Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Tout est gravé quelque part sur ma peau Tellement qu'j'en ai les bras comme des romans photos Blessure de guerre, cul d'bouteille, coup de couteau Tant qu'y aura des comptoirs, on aura des héros Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Trois mille du cap, c'est les foies, c'est les glandes Quand t'as l'cœur qui dérape, et les tripes qui fermentent J'essaie d'penser aux claques, aux filles qui s'impatientent Pas au bateau qui craque entre deux déferlantes Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Du rhum, des femmes et d'la bière nom de dieu Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut Du rhum, des femmes, c'est ça qui rend heureux Que l'diable nous emporte, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux Oh oh oh oh, on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux
