Letra de Burial At Sea

'Twas a tale, 'twas a game, 'twas a bloody shame
Once we sailed off
On a course, up the coast, you confessed your heart
Was for another
Lilly-livered, bilge sucker, shark baitee with a black spot on
Both your faces
Oh, now you've come back to me
But this time it's gonna be
A burial at sea
Climb aboard, Dogs Ahoy!
The manifest is set
Release the mooring lines
From the top, from the nest, looks the perfect night
To dance the hempen jig
To the darkest of the waters, many fathoms
Where you'll meet my friend, Mr. Jonsey
Oh, now you've come back to me
But this time it's gonna be
A burial at sea
Oy! Oy!
1-2-3-4!
Oy! Oy! Oy!
It was tricky, but we stowed your little buddy all tied up in the galley, now it's true romance
So, here's a little shanty, nothing fancy, sung by Jack and Nancy Ketch
Go fetch your swimming pants, 'cause it's time to dance
Oy! Oy!
1-2-3-4!
'Twas a tale, 'twas a game, 'twas a bloody shame
The way it turned out
Now they're together at the bottom and it's better, but it leaves me cursed
Because I can't feel love
So I've gone out to sea
But this time it's gonna be
A burial for me
