La cambuse pleine de jambon,

Avons été si longtemps,

A sec de toile dans le gros temps.

D'où viens-tu oiseau de mer
Ré
J'arrive d'une grande île
Do
Vous annoncer que la terre
Sim Mim
Est proche de quelques milles.
Est-ce vous capitaine Troude
Qui vous posez sur le pont
Lorsque s'écorchent nos coudes
Au bois du mât d'artimon.
Et me reconnaissez-vous
Cap'taine Troude moi qui de vous
Ai pris cent coups de baton
A charge de punition.
Dites-nous que terre est proche
Et que les vents sont portants
Sonne l'heure de la bamboche
Attendue de si long temps.
