Shanty Time

lyrics

Shanty time, oh, shanty time
Everybody loves it when it’s shanty time
Heavin on the riggin’ or hauling on the line
Everybody loves it when it’s shanty time
Mayhems’ the witch doctor with one cure.
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
Play guitar then smoke and drink more
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
Pete signed on as the ship’s new chaplain
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
He’s a fowl mouthed bugger so that didn’t happen
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
Bloodbeard is the fearless first mate
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
Still believes we think he is straight
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
Devin claims that he’s the surgeon
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
But no one knows he’s still a virgin
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
Kane is our worthless blind eye gunner
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
Used to be dumb but now he’s dumber
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
We got ourselves a crew of loud, crass lubbers
Look alive, me boys and grab a line
To those who disagree we all say bullocks!
Come lend a voice its shanty time.
[CHORUS]
