burntcopperWas having a talk with Charley about a story she's writing. She mentioned possibly putting a pirate in it, and well... the really silly muses started. Fucking pirate drinking songs. Keep in mind it was also inspired by Rik Mayall's Robin Hood in Blackadder Back and Forth 'We all really like *girls*, don't we lads?' And then factor in my background of having had Geordie drinking songs/ballads having been sung at me since I was little. You think the bloody LOTR 'Because I got High' was bad?
And keep in mind this quote : "We spend months at sea without any females but we're all totally heterosexual, aren't we lads?"
'Ar, a fine life on the wave it is,
Not a woman in sight at sea...
And we're all bound for the port at hand
Cos we're secure in our sexual-ity! Hey!'
Oh it's a fine life, It's a bonny life, It's a life with much cheer...
And there be no girls at hand but we likes our beer.
RedQuinn9: are you just making all of this up???
SaltwaterVice: er... yes.
Oh, the ship comes in, with the whisky yin, and a full wind in 'er sail...
There's a peg leg man with an eye for Dan and does he love his ale!
Oh, Life on the ocean wave is grand
We set sail from the Falmouth sands
Setting off with a beer in hand
And we'll all be gagging by Ireland
A sailor's life is sex-starved
So the poets say....
But they haven't seen the drag review
That we get each Mon-day! Hey!
SaltwaterVice: :bangs head on desk: you really shouldn't have started me on this.
SaltwaterVice: They're all so horribly jaunty and rollicking.
RedQuinn9: not my fault!!!
RedQuinn9: ::giggle:: that's teh way they're supposed to be isn't it?
SaltwaterVice: I knooooow. Hmm, maybe we could change the whole btvs poetry genre if they were forced to write in drinking/sailing ballad style. You simply can't write angst to these.
RedQuinn9: LOL no i guess you can't
(next four verses are the Rainbow Shanty)
Oh, the First mate is a bonny man
And the second mate's not bad
But everyone likes the cabin boy
And they call him Jack the Lad.
SaltwaterVice: *so* going to hell.
RedQuinn9: you are?
SaltwaterVice: :bangs head: not a good time to be thinking of Captain Pugwash.
RedQuinn9: ROFLOL! Hell no!
Oh, Jack the Lad is a bonny boy
There's no mistaking that
But we get annoyed with the captain
Who's tee-total and a prat
Come Mardi Gras he's always glum
While we all raise the roof
All decked out in our finery...
Cos we're all flaming poofs! Hey!
Yes life on the sea is a fine old thing
While other sailors long for girls
On the Rainbow Queen we're always seen
Having a grand old whirl!
