   Here is a parody by Les Barker:   
      
   Sloop John A -Les Barker   
      
   We looked for the Sloop John A;   
   We looked for it all day;   
   Round Nassau Town we did roam,   
   A man on the pier, Said it wasn't here;   
   Oh we didn't find it, And then we went home.   
      
   Chorus:   
   Oh where can the John A be?   
   Maybe the A's at sea;   
   We had a good look round, then we went home.   
   Then we went home, We had to go home.   
   Well we didn't find it, And then we went home.   
      
   The first mate was not there,   
   Maybe he was elsewhere;   
   Maybe he was on board the Sloop John A;   
   Wherever he was, We didn't meet him because   
   We didn't find it, And then we went home.   
      
   The day was total con,   
   It seemed the A had gone;   
   Then they told us that there's another called B.   
   B was okay; I had my heart set on A;   
   Oh we didn't find it, And then we went home.
