lyrics

Fixing course between the Sun and Moon
I ate a plate of dry baboon's penis
To glance towards the star of Venus
Alone upon this starry eve,
I had but not a minute to grieve,
bereavement is for sissies, and the Navy.
The sudden death of all me crew
was caused not but a mighty flu
nor a violent storm, nor sailors who'd betray us
My friends are feeling their gestation
Amidst the belly of a large crustacean
To whom I vow... retalliation!

There's a giant crab who came in the night
with his beady eyes, just looking for a fight
with his pincer arms and his pincer face
He would make a mockery of the pirate race

The son o' Smee, he could not swim
He clung on to his mandolin
Realising he had broke a string, he was eaten.
Pearl River went to see St Peter,
Though the crab did eat her, he wouldn't forgive her
Now decomposing in the liver, of a monster.
Captain Seamas couldn't take it,
Shot his musket, hit a bullet in the crab's eye
He did not cry, he just got angrier..
Now my friends are feeling their gestation
Amidst the belly of a large crustacean
And I will have my retalliation
Upon this beast of God's creation


There's a giant crab who came in the night
with his beady eyes, just looking for a fight
with his pincer arms and his pincer face
He would make a mockery of the pirate race
