lyrics

At the bottom of a barrel you can see
The glory of a nautical shanty
Singing with the travelling men of the sea
Throwing caution to the wind of a harmony
With a fine wench sitting on my knee
Playing the fiddle and the djembe
The smell of the grog house you'll agree
Tis a wonderful thing when those pirates sing

Old man tell me the tales of the ship o many
shanties caught in the blowing gales
and the time you fought off killer whales
with nothing but a bucket of rusty nails
Old man tell me the tales of the ship o many
shanties caught in the blowing gales
and the time you fought off killer whales
with nothing but a bucket of rusty nails

At the bottom of a barrel you can see
The glory of a nautical shanty
Singing with the travelling men of the sea
Throwing caution to the wind of a harmony
With a fine wench sitting on my knee
Singing rather huskily
Her touch is rather muscly
Just like the whores of Tuscany

Old man tell me the tales of the ship o many
shanties caught in the blowing gales
and the time you fought off killer whales
with nothing but a bucket of rusty nails
Old man tell me the tales of the ship o many
shanties caught in the blowing gales
and the time you fought off killer whales
with nothing but a bucket of rusty nails...

Great music. The t-shirt didn't meet my expectation though :( The print is way smaller and abstract than showed here on the image. Gnseblmchen
