I believe that Monty Python had a similar song that included the lines:

We're men of the ancient seas,
But we're not sissies,
We sleep in seperate beds,
And blow each other kissies

But I'm not sure if it's the same song as you are thinking of.

the last three lines sound like the martin mull tune "MEN!"

i'll post the lyrics cause i know them and they are fun!

(sounds of the sea in background)
sailor: captain, the men haven't eaten in days.
martin mull: yes.
s: captian, the men haven't eaten in DAYS.
mm: yes.
s: captian, do you understand, the MEN haven't EATEN in DAYS!
mm: well, FORCE THEM! you've got plenty of men, haven't you?
s: yes, sir.
mm: you have plenty of what?
s: men, sir.
mm: WHAT!
s: MEN, SIR!
mm: WHAT!!!
s: MEN!
other sailor: MEN!
another sailor and another, etc.: MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN!
(music in)
men men men men, men men men men
it's great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea!
oh, we don't know where we'll land or when, it's great to be with men!
it's great to be with men!

cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care oh!
THROW the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair-o!
clog the drain with hair-o!

men men men, it's a ship all filled with men!
so batten down the ladies room theres no one here but men!
men men men, men men men men!

there's men abouve there's men below there's men down in the galley,
there's butch! and buzz! and spike! and biff! and one guy we call
sally.
and one guy we call sally.

men men men, it's a ship all filled with men,
you'll never have to lift the seat there's no one here but men!
men men men, men men men men.

we're men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,
at night we sleep in separate beds and blow each other kissies!
and blow each other kissies!

men men men, it's a ship all filled with men!
so throw your rubbers overboard there's no one here but men!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!--

It was not a Monty Python song, rather a Martin Mull song.
I believe the title is simply "Men."
