So tall and passing fair
From Mandelay to Frisco Bay
They knew him everywhere

Ten thousand women worshipped him
And it was said that he
Kissed every one but cared for none
He loved the deep blue sea

Deep blue sea, Willy
Deep blue sea
Storms are coming
Hear the wind blow free

Deep blue sea, Willy
Deep blue sea
It was Willy what got drownded
In the deep blue sea

They rioted in Tokyo
When Willy stepped ashore
In Chili, Willy kissed
Five hundred women, maybe more

But then he only smiled and said
There's no one gal for me
I'll fight the gale, harpoon the whale
And sail the deep blue sea

Now, Willy was the roving kind
At least he thought he was
But just like you and just like me
His roving's done because

A blue-eyed gal has scuttled me
That's how it's got to be
She drownded him in two blue eyes
Just like the deep blue sea
