Sorry. I haven't heard this song in more than 30 years, but it just came to mind. Sorry for that.

He he, not far off here...
Saxon - Jolly Jack Tars
Saxon - English Man O' War
Do they have 'woebegan' in them? I can't check for myself because if I listen to Saxon bits of my face fall off and then I look like I just joined them.

Louie Louie -- The Kingsmen [edit] Many people have trouble understanding the lyrics, so I supply them here: King's recruiter gave me the shilling Promised my band would get top billing. But before I could join the army Press gang with burlap sack kidnap me. (refrain) (from impressing impressionable young lads into the Royal Navy) [edit again] The refrain, of course, goes: Woh woh woh wobegon, Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go. Et, et, et cetera.

 Harrumph... After reading Craig's post above (#7), I'm still trying to think of something vaguely amusing to say about Boy George's fondness for se amen without being vulgar or excessively crude. Bummer.

I don't get it ... if he loved the idea of being a sailor so much, he could have joined the Navy and volunteered for the submarine service. I think he would have found gratification in the of rigors of serving below the surface, sealed in a long cylindrical tube with other seamen.

I had to dissect a worm (and then label all its bits and bobs) as part of my Biology A-Level exam.
Fascinating stuff.

You're half right JB, but when they are sat down reading the paper they have a lap as well (between the middle and the end).

I thought that after you cut a worm in half that it would become two worms. If that's true, then a worm could have a LOT of bits!
(And, I hear, Bob is a bit mad at even being mentioned with the worms.)
