Ballad of the Briny Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fishes are my friends
Here beneath the sea
Swimming all around
They're foot-massaging me

The octopus says "Hi"
I say "How do you do?"
He's quite the gentleman
To give me eight salutes

[Chorus]
I'm at home here in the briny
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Verse 2]
The crew thought I was nuts
Jumping overboard
But what'd I have to lose?
Except pains inside my gourd
Except pains inside my heart
They wouldn't let mе be
Now I'm better off
Captain of thе sea

[Chorus]
And I'm at home here in the briny
Since I've found out you don't want me
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny
Since I've found out you don't want me

[Bridge]
I went to schools
I went to ministry
But they don't match the soothing of the sea
I'm back where I began my primal life
I am dissolved into the murky brine

(You wanted me to be a practical man
And now I see how things were)

[Chorus]
And I'm at home here in the briny
Since I've found out you don't want me
