Good people give ear to me story,. Pay attention, and none of your lip,. For I've brought you five lads and their daddy,. Intending to build ye's a ship..
Me first day in the shipyard, the gaffer says to me,. "I want ye to go to the store lad and get a few things, ye see?. Now here's a list, can ye read lad? Can ye read it back to me?.
Ah, me name is Jackie White and I'm foreman of the yard,. And ye don't mess with Jackie on this quayside.. Why I'm as hard as iron plate, woe betide ye if yr late,.
Ah, ye've gotta be joking, yr tekkin' the piss,. I'd have to be stupid to go on wi' this,. I wasn't born yesterday, or even last week,. It's someone with sailing experience ye seek?.
In 18 hundred and 59, the engineer Brunel,. Would build the greatest ship afloat, and rule the ocean's swell.. Nineteen thousand tons of steel they used to shape the mighty keel,.
