We’re homeward bound from China, Oh, aboard a Limey liner, Ranzo, Ranzo, a-way, a-way! We’re gettin’ out our long-tail blues Ter waltz the gals around. Timmie! Hilo, me Ranzo Ray!
We’ve ploughed the whole world over, An’ now soon we’ll be off Dover. We’ve ploughed the oceans over, Like a proper deepsea rover. Timmie!
We’ll pass the cliffs of Dover, Oh, an’ soon we’ll be in clover. We’ll anchor in the Downs, Fer we’re bound fer London Town. Timmie!
We’re loaded down with curios From China an’ the Indias. We’ll soon be seein’ all the gals, The gals we do adore. Timmie!
We’ll drink an’ sing an’ have our fun, sez every jolly Johnny. The gals are waitin’ on the pier - They soon will have good fun, an’ money!
