"Good Ship Venus", also known as "Friggin' in the Riggin'", is a bawdy drinking song devised to shock with ever increasingly lewd and debauched sexual descriptions of the eponymous ship's loose moralled crew. The tune usually used (especially for the chorus) is "In and Out the Windows". == Lyrics == The lyrics exist in numerous variations. The opening verse is typically something along the lines of: :'' 'Twas on the good ship Venus,'' :''By Christ you should have seen us,'' :''The figurehead'' :''Was a whore in bed,'' :''And the mast a rampant penis.''〔Cray, Ed. ''The Erotic Muse: American Bawdy Songs'' (University of Illinois, 1992). pg 316.〕 The last line of which varies, such as ''Our crest a rampant penis''〔'Sebastian Hogbotle and Simon ffeckes' ''Snatches and Lays'' (Melbourne: Sun Books: 1973). pg. 87.〕 or ''Sucking a dead man's penis''.〔Loudon Wainwright III "Good Ship Venus" on ''Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys'' 2006〕 The usual rhyming structure for this song is the limerick AABBA structure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Ship Venus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
