Dekk Bord - Remastered

Det var en lang vinter, men til slutt blei det vår
Og alle mennene på skutå hadde fest
Ja, det var tungrodde netter og en masse blod og svette
Styrmannen jobbde som en hest
Han var en mager liten raring som var svolten på erfaring
Men rasjonane var stort sett vann og korn
Han stod ved roret heile dagen, hadde veddemål med Skagen
Om raskeste veien te Capp Horn

Dekk bord

Når det var rolig på havet, me sko ha fri i frå kavet
Satte alle seg ner og spelte kort
Styrmannen delte mens resten av oss spelte
Pengane skifta eiar ganske fort
Carlos var fortvilte mens mangen andre smilte
De sa; "me loppe Carlos for alt han har!"
Og seinare når dommen falt hadde Carlos mista alt
Det var fordi han samla kun på spar

Me synge
Ro, ro heim til Transylvania
Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia
Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria
For snart komme me fram

Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord

Et par mann hadde me mista. Carlos var den siste
Det skjedde når me låg te land i Marseilles
Han tapte en drikkekonkurranse mot Den Belgiske Sjimpansen
Og nå seile han ikkje meir
I Hong Kong var det kaos, me gjekk på skjær utfor Laos
Me trudde aldri me kom levande derifrå
Så kom en innfødt stamme ut og trudde skipet vårt va Gud
Og slepte oss ut på åpent hav

Me synge
Ro, ro heim til Transylvania
Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia
Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria
For snart komme me fram

Me synge
Ro, ro heim til Transylvania
Gløm nå personalia og andre trivialia
Dekk bord, send et telegram til Victoria
For snart komme me fram
Til Victoria for snart komme me fram
Til Victoria for snart komme me fram

Dekk bord

Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord
Victoria, dekk bord

Set the Table - Remastered

It was a long winter, but finally spring arrived
And all the men on the ship had a party
Yes, there were cumbersome nights and a lot of blood and sweat
The helmsman worked like a horse
He was a skinny little oddball hungry for experience
But the rations were mostly water and grain
He stood at the helm all day, had a bet with Skagen
About the fastest way to Cape Horn

Set the table

When it was calm at sea, we should have a break from the rough weather
Everyone sat down and played cards
The helmsman dealt while the rest of us played
The money changed hands quickly
Carlos was desperate while many others smiled
They said; "we'll fleece Carlos for everything he's got!"
And later when the verdict fell, Carlos had lost everything
It was because he only collected spades

We sing
Row, row home to Transylvania
Forget now personalia and other trivialities
Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria
Because soon we'll arrive

Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table

A couple of men we had lost. Carlos was the last
It happened when we landed in Marseilles
He lost a drinking contest against The Belgian Chimpanzee
And now he sails no more
In Hong Kong there was chaos, we ran aground off Laos
We never thought we'd get out of there alive
Then a native tribe came out and thought our ship was God
And dragged us out to the open sea

We sing
Row, row home to Transylvania
Forget now personalia and other trivialities
Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria
Because soon we'll arrive

We sing
Row, row home to Transylvania
Forget now personalia and other trivialities
Set the table, send a telegram to Victoria
Because soon we'll arrive
To Victoria, because soon we'll arrive
To Victoria, because soon we'll arrive

Set the table

Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
Victoria, set the table
