the c+ shanty - random encounters lyrics
cast my line
two hours at a time!
but alas! that blasted bass
was all i pulled up from the brine!
they moved in fast
descending like a storm!
‘till every bloomin’ bay was
blighted by the swarm!
sea bass, far as the eye can see!
worse to catch than a cold or flea!
so let’s break loose the vacation juice*
“another round on me!”
from sea to hook to me to nook*
half a bag of bells for sea bass!
they’re bad!
they’re worse!
a soggy curse
all across the seven seas!
every bass i caught
was the last, i thought
but the fish of my wishes
was nautically naught!
this sea bass here is all i’ve got
but at least it’s a c+!
the sharks turned tail!
the knifejaw bit the dust!
even the snapper’s down the cr*pper
and the dab’s become a bust!
i sold threefold
of sea bass at the store
just to return to sea and fish out
fifty*three more!
salty scourge of the open sea!
fill your pockets with misery!
so down a sluice of vacation juice*
“it’s alcoholic*free!”
from sea to hook to me to nook*
half a bag of bells for sea bass!
they’re wet!
and weird…
they’re in me beard!
and they’ve seized the seven seas!
not a smidge of fish
that i’d had in mind;
only bass i’d rather have
left behind
worth sixty*something bells combined
but at least they’re a c+!
they ate my bait
and broke my golden pole!
i would make them walk the plank
but then they’d just rejoin the shoal!
those piscine pests
have flooded every shore!
with every wretch i catch, i retch
a little bit more!
ten for you and a ton for me!
maritime terror is all they be!
so raise a glass to that curse’d bass*
it’s time to change the key!
ahhhh!
from sea to hook to me to nook*
half a bag of bells for sea bass!
they bite!
they smell!
we do, as well*
and they plague the seven seas!
they’re grotesque, despicable
and abhorred
but they’re all i’ve got
and i can’t afford
to toss the lot of ‘em overboard
but at least… they’re a… c+!
but at least it’s a c+!
