Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

When ya go to sea in a sailin' ship,

You do the job your given

If you fall down or lose your grip,

That's just part of livin'

Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

When things go wrong on a sailin' ship,

What's the use of cryin'?

Get back up, forget the slip,

It's all part of tryin'.

Now everyone in a sailin' trip

Has special work to do.

And everyone's gotta do their bit

For the good ship to get through.

Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

When things go wrong on a sailin' ship,

What's the use of cryin'?

Get back up, forget the slip,

It's all part of tryin'.

Now everyone in a sailin' trip

Has special work to do.

And everyone's gotta do their bit

For the good ship to get through.

So hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!

Hey maties, lend a hand!

Do your part on sea or land!

Hey maties, yes ya can!

We're all in this together!
