| In Callao there lives a gal Whose name is Serafina |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She sleeps all day and 'works' all night On the old Cally Marina |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| She's the queen, me boys, of all the gals That live in the ole' Casino, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She used to 'kiss' for monkey nuts But now she 'works' for vino. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| At robbin' silly sailors, boys, No gal was ever keener, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She'll make you pay right through the nose, That lovely Serafina! |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| She'll guzzle pisco, beer and gin, On rum her mum did wean her, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She smokes just like a chimney stack On a P.S.N.C steamer. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| Serafina's got no 'shoes', I been ashore an' seen 'er, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She's got no time to put them on, That hard-worked Serafina. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| When I was young an' in me prime, I first met Serafina, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| In Callao we saw the sights An' then went up to Lima. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| But the finest sight I ever saw Was little Serafina, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| But the very next day as we sailed away, I wished I'd never been there. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| For I wuz skint, me clothes wuz gone, An' so wuz Serafina, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| She'd done me brown, she'd sunk me down, That dirty she-hyena! |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
| I used to love a little girl Whose name was Serafina, |
|
| Serafina! Serafina! | |
| But she's gone off with a Dago man Who plays a concertina. |
|
| Serafina! Oh, Serafina! | |
