Lyrics

upon the deck a shanty rings, four and twenty days at sea we've been, the wind our friend the waves our road, our journey long with bongs to load. the sails they rise to catch the breeze, four and twenty times we cough and wheeze, the galley filled with sea weed and grog, our spirits high like a jolly sea-dog. four and twenty seagulls without abode, our ship a haven for their shit in loads, the dolphins stare at us in strange amaze, four and twenty times today we blaze. four and twenty times today we cheer, with our plunder of sea weed and beer, four and twenty cannonballs to fight, against the foes that dare our might. for stoned sailors all our shanty sing, for a life at sea is a hell of a thing, with kush and rum our tale is spun, four and twenty days and our journey's begun. four and twenty days and our journey's begun.
