Through the Seafoam Green
Ba-dada-dada-badadada
Ba-dadadada-da-aya
Ba-dada Hey Hey
She sat high at the bow and wide at the beam
The finest ship you'd ever seen
The Katherine Anne, feared by one and all
Not sailed by man
The wind picked up, she slipped her chains
The luff pulled taught on the main
The sky turned black, it started to rain
As we all rose up from our watery grave
Hugh Pigot was the skipper of this cursed ship of fools
A brash man, a bully and a bigot
With no respect
We couldn't follow his rule
And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean
As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green
And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum
As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green
Ba-dada-dada-badadada
Ba-dadadada-da-aya
Ba-dada Hey Hey
Her figurehead was a mockingbird
She sang so beautiful it was absurd
The sailors passing through the night
Could hear her sing and they were chilled with fright
The first mate lost his mind in a brawl
Did nothing more than stargaze
The bosun made no sense at all
The crew were lost in drink
And hell was raised
(I'll knock your block off you dirty land lubber!)
The Captain pressed hard on his crew
The spray whipped up as the wind blew
Mutiny was the word aboard
This mortal Captain's fate had been assured
And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean
As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green
And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum
As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed
As the moon turns red through the misty haze
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
We're all going to hell in a hand basket
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed
As the moon turns red through the misty haze
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
We're all going to hell (Ooh) in a hand basket
As the boat sailed on through the eye of the storm
The Captain took a nip of his rum
Unaware of his plight, his drink was laced and swords were drawn
Should we tie you to the larboard? Better still the boat's been scuppered
The fish will strip you to the bone
On this ship of fools we shall roam
Far too late now to make a stand, Captain you're a bastard man
You're destined now to sail the Seas for all eternity on the Katherine Anne
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed
As the moon turns red through the misty haze
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
We're all going to hell (Ooh) in a hand basket
And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean
As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green
And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum
As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed
As the moon turns red through the misty haze
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
We're taking you to hell
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth(We're taking you to hell in a hand basket)
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell)
As the moon turns red through the misty haze (in a hand basket, in a hand basket)
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth
(We're taking you, we're taking you to hell)(Land ho!)
This old girl well she's heading South (in a hand basket)
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell)
As the moon turns red through the misty haze (In a hand basket)
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
(We're taking you, we're taking you to hell in a hand basket)
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth(We're taking you to hell)
This old girl well she's heading South (In a hand basket, in a hand basket)
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell)
As the moon turns red through the misty haze (We're taking you to hell)
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (we're taking you to hell in a hand basket)
(Swab the bloody decks you dogs!)
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
(We're taking you, we're taking you to hell in a hand basket)
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (We're taking you to hell in a hand basket)
Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth (We're taking you, we're taking you to hell)
This old girl well she's heading South
Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell)
As the moon turns red through the misty haze (In a hand basket)
Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it
