VERSE 1
D        Em      A       D
Shipmates listen unto me. I'll tell you in my song
  D          Em      A          D
Of things that happened to me when I come home from Hong Kong.

CHORUS
   D    Em   A7   D
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie

 Oh you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

VERSE 2
  D        Em        A        D
As I walked down to Chatham Street, a fair maid I did meet
  D          Em        A         D
She asked me, please, to see her home. She lived on Bleecker Street
   D       Em      A       D
Now, if you'll only come with me, you can have a treat
    D        Em     A         D
You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat

CHORUS
   D    Em   A7   D
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie

 Oh you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

D       Em      A       D
Before we sat down to eat, we had sev'ral drinks
  D       Em       A       D
The liquor was so awful strong, I quickly fell asleep

CHORUS
   D    Em   A7   D
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie
D    Em       A7         D
 Oh you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

VERSE 4
   D      Em    A       D
When I awoke next mornin, I had an achin' head
  D         Em         A        D
My gold watch and my pocketbook and the lady friend had fled
  D         Em     A        D
Now lookin' round this little room nothing could I see
   D         Em      A         D
But a woman's shoes and apron, which now belonged to me

CHORUS
   D    Em   A7   D
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie
D    Em       A7         D
 Oh you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?

VERSE 5
  D           Em    A        D
Now dressed in the lady's apron, I wandered most forlorn
   D        Em        A         D
'Till Martin Churchill took me in and he sent me round Cape Horn

CHORUS 2x
   D    Em   A7   D
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie
D    Em       A7         D
