['The Captain's Tale' by Paul Jarman]

(singing) Here ye boys, what'll it be? Come gather 'round, have a drink on me. Tales to tell and tales to hear at the bottom of the sea. All above, come down below. Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, join our song. Sink your ship, and it won't be long. Plenty of room for a sailor done wrong at the bottom of the sea. All above come down below. Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, we're still here. A hundred years drinking plenty of beer. Hey! Drowned our sorrows in the deep at the bottom of the sea. All above come down below. Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, a little advice. If you fight the swell it will take your life. Died like a man they'll tell your wife. At the bottom of the sea. All above come down below. Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, the years pass by. So we stay where the sea dogs lie. Drinking all the oceans dry at the bottom of the sea. All above come down below. Hear the captain's tale!

Here ye boys, what'll it be? Come gather 'round, have a drink on me. Tales to tell and tales to hear. And you guessed it, plenty of beer! Hey! All of you are welcome here at the bottom of the sea. All above, come down below. Hear the captains tale! Here now the captain's tale. Listen to the captain's wail! All above come down below. Hear the captain's tale! Hey!
