Captain Joe was a gallant man on the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
He sailed wherever a sailor can on the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
Portnick to Littleton, back to Portnick
So many times that it made him sick
But when summer comes he will sail to Picton
On the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
Captain Joe leans over the rail
On the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
At 7.45 he's due to sail
On the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
No matter if the southerly busters blow
No matter if the glass shows an all-time low
The company manages down below
On the Inter-Iron Steamer Express
The Inter-Iron Steamer Express
The Inter-Iron Steamer Express
She'll be right, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry, mate, she'll be right
You can get your feet on the ground
When he slows down to a walk
So don't worry, mate, she'll be right
When you're hunting in the mountains
And your dog's put up a chase
And a porky's coming at you
And he doesn't like your face
And you're running and he's running
And he's crowding on the pace
Well, don't worry, mate, she'll be right
She'll be right, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry, mate, she'll be right
You can get your feet on the ground
When he slows down to a walk
So don't worry, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry, mate, she'll be right
She'll be right, mate, she'll be right
Don't worry, mate, she'll be right
You can get your feet on the ground
When he slows down to a walk
So don't worry, mate, she'll be right
No, don't worry, mate, she'll be right
