Three day's 'til Narwhal Day! Make ready!

The Rebel Black Dot Sea Shanty of the Day
Real Can of Yams, "Shiver Me Timbers" from CODENAME: Koala (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: R.C.Y.'s pirate ditty's lyrics incorporate Robert Louis Stevenson's song fragment, "Dead Man's Chest," from Treasure Island. The choral show I saw on Saturday was called, "A Knight with Pirates."

"In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
We're trawling for booty and running you through,
Shiver me timbers!

"Yo ho!
A bottle of rum, a keg of ale,
Looks out, boys, we're setting sail!
Grab your sword and grab your gun,
A pirate's life is so much fun!

"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest,
Cannonballs, laser beams, full-court press,
We're out of limes and in distress,
Shiver me timbers!

"Yo ho!…

"Swab the deck and walk the plank,
Down in the brig it's really cold and dank,
Host the mainsail and give it a yank!
Shiver me timbers!

"Yo ho!…

"Yo ho, the dairy-o,
A pirate's life for me!"
