Hoist Up The Thing
(专辑: Cures What Ails Ya - 2020)
Fresh out of college, with grades straight from Hell I
browsed for a
trade at which I
could excel An ad for a
ship in need of some manning Men, sails, and purpose, but lacking a
captain What luck, says I, to find such good fortune! A
few white lies later, I
ran down the
pier Bought me a
coat and a
cutlass or two Jumped on the
deck, and I
yelled at the
crew: Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control! I
can't sing the
shanties, it has to be said And all of that grog just goes right to my head Whale meat is gross and I
miss a
girl's laugh Five weeks at sea, even Dave seems a
catch! Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control! We've hit icy waters, no land to be seen The
food's getting low and the
beer has gone green There's murmurs of discontent under the
deck If I
don't act fast, it could be my neck! So pull up the
charts and those weird gold machines I
see what it says but no clue what it means! Just pull on some levers and yank on some chains Feign a
bad back till we've landed again Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control! Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control! Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! Trust me, I'm in control! Hoist up the
thing! Batten down the
whatsit! What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! (BLOODY HELL!) Turn hard to port! (This is SHERRY!) Now I've got it! (Screaming) Trust me, I'm in control! (MUMMY!) Trust me, I'm in control!
