nautical language - daron hagen lyrics
gallant captain squash he sailed the high seas
and his crew consisted of green peas;
sound and round were these jolly “tars,” they did but roll
when reefing the sails or stoking coal
“avast there, me hearties,” the captain roared;
“i’ll marlin*spike each pea aboard,”
“ah! hard*a*port,” and “ship ahoy,” “avast” and
“haul, hold fast and belay.”
all this, and much more, and all very fierce, and every day
“heave ho,” and “belay,” “let’s wait for the roll,”
“steer larboard,”
“let go pinion,” “make weigh,” “you’ll taste the
cat,” “the scuppеrs run red,”
“stretch on the thwart,” roarеd fierce captain
squash to his “jack tars.”
gallant captain squash he sailed the high seas
his crew was marrowfat peas;
sound and round were these jolly “tars.”
i don’t know what he meant by the words he said
suppose we’d find out if we, too sailed the seas
with fierce captain squash
if we sailed the seas with fierce captain squash!
