By the time that we reached Bourne End, the crew were wet and their spirits were dampened. To cheer us up, the Cabin Boy kept on repeating the line from the Sloop John B “This is the worse trip, I’ve ever been on”. The First Mate couldn’t resist it and sang his verse with gusto.
“The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the captain’s trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home”
Both the First Mate and the Cabin Boy had been harboring on about the fact that they both needed a drink to cheer them up. And the Captain, in his own way, did his best to make them feel happy by telling them “Sorry lads, The Black Lion, The Bounty and the Firefly pubs all had to shut down because of some boating clientele singing late at night and had therefore been guilty of noise pollution “.The Captain was so proud of his acting skills that he thought about applying for a role in Eastenders.
