Now he's the one who sings while the lubbers scrub the floor
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
And he's the one who laughs when the storm begins to roar
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
When his fiddle starts to play better hide away
If you don't wanna die
He is the one to blame when a mate goes overboard
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
He's the fiddler on his wreck
I'm the fiddler on the deck
He's dancing in the tops, when the ship goes down the drain
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
And he's the reason why, when me mateys go insane
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
When he plays a fiddle tune, better catch him soon
Or wave the world goodbye
He is the one to blame when the devil calls your name
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
He's the fiddler on his wreck
I'm the fiddler on the deck
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
He's the fiddler on his wreck
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
He's the fiddler on his wreck
I'm the fiddler on the deck
