You'll be humming this in your sleep tonight.


"Good Ship Venus", also known as "Friggin' in the Riggin'", is a bawdy
drinking song devised to shock with ever increasingly lewd and
debauched sexual descriptions of the eponymous ship's loose-moraled
crew. The tune usually used (especially for the chorus) is "In and Out
the Windows".

Lyrics:

It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis

The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel ****
From one place to another

Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was **** all else to do

Captain's name was Morgan
By Christ, he was a gorgon
Ten times a day sweet tunes he'd play
On his ****in' organ
