In the second song off of the The Terrible Tales of Scurvy Jones, Captain Scurvy Jones outlines who he is and what it means to be a member of his crew. He is a scoundrel and a vagabond, and he leads a dangerous life. He is also partial to hunting monsters, and always wins his battles with them.
As...
[Verse 1: Mr. Yote]
Now whether or not you peasants wanna ride with me
Take a look cause the sea's where my heart lies
Wood grain buckets keep me so pretty
And I'm lucky I've got vision in this one eye
Silly, while you wish, the water swish to only one side
The motion got you sick, you pity pumpkin on my low
Riding down where the sun don't
Show it's face for fresh flows
Steady as he bled nose
Give him to your pal
Now pick it up and I'll
Drop the plank against you bums
This is how we get around
So suck it up with rusty thumbnails
Dumb stares, out in the abyss until they fry
Get in this and I won't trip his lungs
Mission is to start rocking sways
With the awnings of squiddies when ink rises
Or trains with the army of fishies and still hides
I don't mind really, I just need bodies of strange eyes
And then that, because really just, really like big sighs
[Pre-Hook: Mr. Yote]
Cause deep, down, and under
The endless ocean floor
I sit here and I wonder
If I shall soon see more
[Hook: Mr. Yote]
And now maybe that my tappin'
Back of the sub I sit passin'
Bubbles from the belly of the (Oh lord, catch him!)
Man of the deck, I command that you grab
Pull and tug, this is war
Don't you hide from the Kraken
[Verse 2]
And really it don't sound like
Sounds by, but boy I mean you really need
The ground help, down tight
Strap to the, grip and pull with all might held
And your palms like, life is up for all sides here
Baby cries, we can catch a couple lies right there
So it's simple, pull and get your body drowned down there
To the coral coves, peasants fell over too
So pour the rum and tip the cap
And pray they don't devour you
Now how do you, plan we nab this beast here
Sure I got my own, but let us see what fellows think, clear?
And properly, these straights and silly properties
Are all just quite amusing
But none measure to the captain's beard
So say we take the legs out quick
Couple ten, it shouldn't matter if we let loose six
And these fangs might shatter
So we noose loads, with few ropes
And cork that filthy critter so we make no mess
And yeah
[Pre-Hook: Mr. Yote]
Cause deep, down, and under
The endless ocean floor
I sit here and I wonder
If I shall soon see more
[Hook: Mr. Yote]
And now maybe that my tapping
Back of the sub I sit passing
Bubbles from the belly of the (Oh lord, catch him!)
Man of the deck, I command that you grab
Pull and tug, this is war
Don't you hide from the Kraken
[Verse 3: Mr. Yote]
Huh, shyeah, huh, boy
And still beneath the dwellings
Oddly strange smells are a mist
In the range of the ever-growing threats, waving fins
Anglers and crawdads and plenty o' fish
But the ones that I seek are much bigger than this
So where's the Loch Ness?
Or creature from lagoons in this thing?
Where's Monstro?
And bags of harpoons for the prey?
See these creatures, they all become food on the plates
So as long as I'm feeding up this crew, it is safe to
Hunt 'til there's dead flies all around the seas
'Til this peg-leg I walk on turns rotten with disease
Plotting with the schemes, steady jotting every dream
And when we see that nasty fellow we shall drop him to the knees, boy
And I phrase this all in the present
So if you often wondered what all really happened
The outcome of battles is simple as it seems
It is I, on D, Cap' Scurvy is me
Huh
