The Lyrics

preyin' today
on leave from the swells
the man with the rakish grin's a-creep
and raisin' some hell
the ladies all want to know him
though they see that he's brusque and cruel
when he knocks they're sure to answer
cause he's barnacle bill
seizes rum, pours it down
and his eyes, dizzy red
see the world spinnin' 'round

sailors, they say...
stand out in a crowd
this man has a raspy voice
and he yells overly loud
though young ladies claim to fear him
and around him, they clearly shake
his knockin', they long to notice
here comes barnacle bill
and the door's busted down
and perhaps, soon, your head
when that sailor's in town

and young bodies seized, excites him
you can tell what he wants to do
the girls never stop their squealin'
they love barnacle bill
and he's been comin' 'round
makin' good on his threats
and your face, he may pound

pound and pound and pound

he slithers in and woos them
he knows they find him cool
they sure like him
ol' barnacle bill
and although, he's a hound
all the gals want to wed
so he'll keep hangin' 'round

Wouldn't it have made more sense to do "Bungalow Bill" to "The Fool On the Hill"? And, while we're at it, vice versa?

Depends on whether Popeye's had his dinner. Hmmmm... When Popeye opens a can of spinach, does that mean he then opens a can of whoopass? Or would suggesting that be opening a can of worms? ("Oh, God! Can open! Worms everywhere!" -- Chandler, "Friends")
