This is rap cover done by DJ Jeremyray that he’d want to tweak from the original-a filk, sea shanty turned filk rap. This song features DJ’s abilities to do something new for the filk and rap genres as he rewrites the verses and keeps the hooks and intros.

Lyrics
[Typed]
[Intro]:
Oh,mateys you ready?Yah!
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[Chorus]:
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse I]:
Getting to this shanty
Making it hip like Manties (Man T's)
Shaking it up for lip candy
Cause I heard this song
Loved the herd that bond
Together sing the words very long
Made mine with Mic and buzzed filk rap
Some of you like "what's that?"
It's songs with chorus' that hooks
You to hear multis,spit book
Stories,holt!This man's foot
Is on the pedal to something afoot
Cause I'm with my mateys
Catching Whales,drinking rum with the ones
Nathan Evans,DJ,AJS,Slump and ladies
That support the ship of drums
Ayye,they call me fate
Cause my sword cuts the cake
Whenever I do any genre
I spill the dram,ah!(spell drama)
Cause I'm late
To the party,sorry mates,holla!
I'm the Wellerman,real man,will of man
Hanging with my shipmates
Singing Shanties with games
Of who's the best wordsmith
Cutting words like a sword it's
Doing it like 'M' candy and Will Smith
Dressing up for the cause that played
Our plate to eat up adventure lanes
Taking on the storms of the seas
Cause we see a big whale seat
We can make for our things
So drink up mateys,fate is made,yee!
Our grasp of this water to grass
Type adventures will last
A lifetime with Pirate tasks
Say what do we say
We say
What do we say?
Get ready for this
We say x2
[Chorus]:
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse II]:
Oh,there once was a Wellerman
Who decided to skin the letters and
Do features for the future for his kin,men
Do this so they can get the tea and rum
We practice boldness,no lowest to run
So we can be the wellerman
It's like the Pirates of Carribean
Skill checks on the ship,being
The ones to play around
And spend time to mount
The whales in the ocean,wow!
Telling this tale to for ones who fell
Off the plank trying to sing the bells
But failed and our adventures died
We singing the Misty Mountains,with might
Having us ring up the mist to light
The situation that flinged tonight
Cause the last Wellerman,gone
Let his spirit live on
He was fierce like a Dragonborn
As we pierce the wagon's thorns
To help us capture the Whale's horns
The tonguing will be fun
And the singing will lead hums
We gotta sing this Shanty with lungs!
I said we gotta sing this shanty with lungs!
Get ready
Cause we gonna sing this shanty with lungs
You ready,ok!
[Chorus]:
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Outro]:
Slump
