ALL: Working all day and tossing all night!
Convict 1:They think we think that wrong is right!
All: They think we think that wrong is right!
CONVICT 2: God's getting our supper ready, and I know it's gonna be big!
CONVICT 3: There's gonna be lots of biscuits, and I hope He's got a pig.
Convict 1: I think I smell a glass of wine!
All: I think I smell a glass of wine!
Convict 1: Dom Perrier never smelt so fine!
All: Dom Perrier never smelt so fine!
CONVICT 3: We've got to keep on rowing, 'cause there's nowhere else to go.
Living's all too awful, and dying's all too slow.
CONVICT 4: So stay inside your straits, boys, and start to pay your fees.
God is your only master, so get down on your knees.
Convict 1: Working all day and tossing all night!

CONVICT 5: I only stole a fruit-cake, now I'm serving fifteen years.
A thousand men around me, but no one sees my tears.
Convict 2: I'm missing my wife and family, my little son and daughter.
I hate to think they'll pay for the price
For my mistaken sin.
Convict 3: They keep looking out to the harbor,
Waiting with my bottle of gin.
So I'm asking; will there be enough water
For when my ship comes in?
Convict 4: Forget about the slaves, boys,
Forget about your grave!
There is a true redemption,
So who is gonna get saved?
Convict 5: Light up all your candles,
And to your loved ones, say goodbye.
You've said farewell forever.
You're here until you die.
