Lyrics:
from the yardarm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There’s enough gold here to start on (Ah-ah-ah-aah)
There’s enough gold to get high on
Well
to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Early in the morning
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she
on him earl-eye in the mornin'
Way hay up she rises way hay up she rises
Way hay up she rises earl-eye in the morn'
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
To stoke the dying fire inside
Your thick skull's cracked open
And you're bleeding out hope
The yardarm's inviting
And you've plenty of rope
When you've
on the run
The sun, the sun, the sun,
The sun is over the yardarm
The sun, the sun, the sun
The sun is over the yardarm
The sun, the sun, the sun,
The sun is
rises
Early in the morning
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm
Early in
answered me clear...
""I'm from the Black Arrow bound to the Shakespeare""...
So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow...
And yard-arm to yard-arm
now."
Give me some time to blow the man down!
So I tailed her my flipper and took her in tow
Way aye blow the man down
And yardarm to yardarm away we did
yardarm's shrinking
Can't stand up from years of falling
Rafter in the shed is talking
I don't know how I got so beaten down
Pushed around
Guilty
What can I do
I do it to you
But I do it to me too
Cut off my head
Cut off my head
Cut off my head, ah
Hang me from the yardarm
Guilty,
Your veins are very close
Someday, I'll wrap my big yardarms around your legs
And sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there
we're on a pint and a pound
And X marks the spot where old Stormy was drowned
(Chorus)
Y's for yardarm, needs a good sailor man
Z is for Zoe, I'm her
Your veins are very close
Someday, I'll wrap my big yardarms around your legs
And sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there
away
To a blind brigadier in a game
Of high stakes canasta.
But he made me a sailor
On his brigadier ship fleet.
I know every yardarm
From main
in a boat and row him over X3
Early in the morning!
Hoist him up to the topsail yardarm X3
Early in the morning!
Chorus
Make him clean out
Your veins are very close
Some day I'll wrap my big yardarms around your legs
And sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there
words all sound kinda queer
Ferries & tugboats
Yard-arm & poop deck
Shiver me timbers
Pulpit & head
First mate & dinghy
Backstay & bumpkin
Going down,
uncovering the cheer
The sun's over the yardarm
Let's go reaching for that first beer
There's something there familiar
Something like waiting for a train
bale 'er. CHORUS
Trice him up in a runnin' bowline. CHORUS
Tie him to the tasffrail when she's yard-arm under. CHORUS
Put him in the scuppers
veins are very close
Some day I'll wrap my big yardarms
Around your legs and sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there someday
and the fire down below's no Saturnalia
And any bloody captain can strip you of your rights
and leave you dancing from the yardarm let me tell you
One day this poor boy he did annoy me.
Nothing to him then did I say,
But I rushed him to my frozen yard-arm
And I kept him there till the very next
Fire, fore and aft
Man the boats and put to the sea
Crashing yardarms - cries of pain
A will to live - a chance to flee
Panic on the boats
On an empty street in an Axis power
We broke the yardarm; it's too restricting
Cramped out style and cut our drinking down...
And this is how it all began
