A sea shanty from the New Main Street Singers, jam-packed with nautical references that are occasionally used correctly. While they are playing this, their manager interrupts to suggest the band be repeatedly doused with waves onstage, a suggestion to which the band does not cotton.
Fare Away Lyrics
Sun breaks over the spritsail yard
Jib sheet's hauling to leeward hard
Crosstrees humming a morning hymn
I'm the cabin boy, call me Jim. (His name's Jim)
Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale
Captain's stalking the quarterdeck
Tells the tail of his first shipwreck
Castaway with a case of rum
Hoped that rescue would never come (Never come)
Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale
To the furbelow of the wily, wily
First mate Peter's a hardened man
Says the captain's a charlatan
Don't know tackle from futtock plates
He’ll sail us into the pearly gates
Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale
I been sailing these seven seas
Since I's nigh high to a mermaid's knees
Come next April I'm sixty-three
I can't advance! (I like short pants!)
Safe in the cabin on the open sea
Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale
