This Ship's Going Down

A gargantuan hole in the bow will, the ocean to
enter, allow. Oh but more a sin then letting it
in is letting our good fortune out. The nest, to
the storm did succumb, while the crow hid his
fear in the rum. And the mast, it broke and
throw out the bloke and well now he's surely
my chum.
Love letters from under his bed, holds the cabin
boy over his head a futile try to keep it dry
where tears have already wet. They were
penned by a girl in Merak, and the Javanese
vaule their tact. She'll conclude he's horribly
rude 'cause he's sure as hell not writing back.

'cause, this ship's going down.
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
there's no need to frown
'cause we're all going together.
And I won't say "Woe is me"
as I dissapear into the sea.
'cause I'm in good company
as we're all going together.

I've had women of every kind, but the only one
truly was mine is the one at home who'll be
alone when I am full-up with brine. For my
son, I had always a plan to raise him as
best as I can. Oh well you can bet my only
regret is to not see him grow to a man.

'cause, this ship's going down.
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
there's no need to frown
'cause we're all going together.
And I won't say "Woe is me"
as I dissapear into the sea.
'cause I'm in good company
as we're all going together.

I was sinking down into the brine, when a
curious site caught my eye. Seaman Shaft had
found a raft and was makin' a speedy goodbye.
At the risk of sounding absurd, I have always
been good as my word. So a fishgig I lanced
into his eye and I knocked his ass overboard.

'cause, this ship's going down.
All on account of the weather
Though we'll drown
there's no need to frown
'cause we're all going together.
And I won't say "Woe is me"
as I dissapear into the sea.
'cause I'm in good company
as we're all going together.

Oh hell!
'cause you'll all been so good to me
so we're all going together.
