Wot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I woke up this morning I was feelin' fine
But this cat starts banging, man, what a swine
So I called reception but to no avail
That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale
It went bang (Bang!), I said shut up
It went bang (Bang!), I said rap up
Well, I'm aware that the guy must do his work
But the piledriver man drove me berserk

[Chorus]
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
(He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot d'ya want?
)

[Verse 2]
Once a lifetime, twice a day
If you don't work you get no pay
I've been to the east, I've been to the west
But the girls I like most are the ones undressed
Well, hello Adam, where you been?
I said a'stand aside 'cause I'm feelin' mean
I've had a gutful of you and I'm feelin' bad
Well, you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad

[Chorus]
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot d'ya want?
(He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot? Oooh!
)
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot d'ya want?
(He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot? Oooh!
)
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot d'ya want?
(He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot? Oooh!
)
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot d'ya want?
(He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot?
He said captain, he said wot? Oooh!
)
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot?
He said captain, I said wot d'ya want?
