Now he’s the one who sings while the lubbers scrub the floor
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
And he’s the one who laughs when the storm begins to roar
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
When his fiddle starts to play, better hide away
If you don’t wanna do
He is the one to blame when a mate goes overboard
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware, he’s like a cutlass in your back
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care, he’s everywhere, he’s like a needle in your neck
He’s the fiddler on this wreck
I’m the fiddler on the deck
He’s dancing in the tops when the ship goes down the drain
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
And he’s the reason why when me mateys go insane
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
When he plays a fiddle tune, better catch him soon
Or wave the world goodbye
He is the one to blame when the devil calls your name
(Oh my, oh my, oh my)
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware, he’s like a cutlass in your back
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care, he’s everywhere, he’s like a needle in your neck
He’s the fiddler on this wreck
I’m the fiddler on the deck
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware, he’s like a cutlass in your back
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care, he’s everywhere, he’s like a needle in your neck
He’s the fiddler on this wreck
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care and be aware, he’s like a cutlass in your back
He’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler, he’s the fiddler on the deck
Better take care, he’s everywhere, he’s like a needle in your neck
He’s the fiddler on this wreck
I’m the fiddler on the deck
