Just A Sea Shanty

A stomping sea shanty bursts to life with percussive footwork and a gritty hurdy-gurdy establishing a dense folk texture, Group vocals propel spirited call-and-response choruses, the swinging groove anchoring energy and inviting sweeping sing-along refrains, all instruments playing rowdy and tight

Lyrics

We sail out down from sea to sea

Ronnie and Sonny and Woodleg and me,

Chummy chefs and debauchery,

Aye, ye might say this life is for me!

Now don't mind the ship following us

Aye, don't mind the ship that is trailing us

They be fans from uhh.. Hungary

They be no threat to me

Aye, that ship has an english flag

But they fly it ironically

They did not promise

To set me free,

If I delivered you

To them peacefully (what!?)

I'm sure your heads they will not chop,

I promise ye have nuttin' to fear,

Unrelated note, should we make a stop,

At that friendly island over there?

Aye ho! Aye ho!

No noose is coming, for me, no!

This is my own freedom song

Why aren't more of you singing along?

I only made that deal for me

None of you are walking free

It's why I gave you extra time

While you were bedding your wives

Why are you looking at me like that, mateys?

It's just a sea shanty! Arrr!

And once we're there

I'll grab some grub

While your necks

Will be stubs

While ye all are emotional wrecks,

Maybe I'll get me neck a rub

Aye ho! Aye ho!

No noose is coming, for me, no!

Ronny, you made some lovely food

I'll be sad to see ye go!

You’re lucky to fall for this one trick

Most betrayals don’t come with music

It sure is nice to have a heart that beats

This ship'll be lonely with empty seats!

It’s not backstabbing,

I was always in front!

Look, it’s not personal

It’s just the biz

And aye, I might’ve told 'em

Where our hideout is

I’ll send you postcards

From my comfy bed

I'll even paint a lovely heart-

Oh wait, you'll all be dead!

Woodleg, can I have your leg?

I can carve it out for my keg

And drink from it as I take a sip,

Wait, why is there a spanish ship?

(I did not make a deal with them!)

Ronnie, are you betraying us?

After everything I've done for ye,

I guess it's not a major loss

So lets throw Ronnie in the sea!

Wait, the rest of you were in on this?

Think about our cameraderie!

What part of pirate crew did ya miss?

I suppose I'll be fine if the english arrive here quickly!

(Hey!)

Aye ho! Aye ho!

No noose and hanging, for me, no!

Sonny, how could you do this to me!

Getting me to feel this low!

And Aye ho! Aye ho!

Don't bribe the english with me gold

That's the dubloons I was supposed to spend on me

While I was the only one walking free!

You're all a bunch of mutinous snakes!

I demand we sail back to Nassau to discuss this!

Hey, keep your hands off me!

I don't negotiate with traitors!
