Shipyard Jimmy Nail, Craig Bennett, Sally Ann Triplett, Fred Applegate

[JACKIE]
Ah me name is Jackie White
I’m the foreman of the yard
And ya don’t mess with Jackie on this quayside
I’m as hard as iron plate
Woe betide you if you’re late
When we have to push a boat out on the spring tide

Now they could die and hope for Heaven
But they’d need to work their shift
And I’d expect them all to back me to the hilt
And if St. Peter at his gate were to ask them why they’re late?
Why, they’d tell him that they had to get a ship built

[JACKIE & MEN]
We build battleships and cruisers (ah)
For her Majesty the Queen
Super tankers for Onassis, (ah)
And all the classes in between
We built the greatest shipping tonnage
That the world has ever seen

[JACKIE]
And the only life we’ve known is in the shipyard

Now, gentlemen
