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 its true
 romance
 So, here's a little shanty, nothing fancy, sung by Jack and Nancy Ketch
 Go fetch your swimming pants, cause its 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 its 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
