This was originally tabbed by letdown00 (to my knowledge),
and many thanks to them, but they got the chorus and solo wrong,
so I've edited it to be more right.
(I'd like to state that whilst not 100% right, this version is MORE right)

VERSE II (Same Chords)
All a-drifting, he's the nogood boyo
Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame
(The only catch all day)
So he sits and lets the current take him
A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray
And at his ankles laid.
As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep
He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls
How she twists and twirls!
