Paroles de « captain »

Couplet 1

There was a wee ship,
There was a wee ship,
Never, nev-nev-never went oot te party,
Never, nev-nev-never went oot te party.

Then the captain shouts, “C’mon pal, dinnae fash yersel’,”
We’ll find somethin’ tae light up, hae a laugh as well,
Even when the bottles started tae run oot,
There was always a wee stash hidin’, aye, nae doubt.

Couplet 1 (long version)

There was a wee ship,
There was a wee ship,
Never, nev-nev-never went oot te party,
Never, nev-nev-never went oot te party.

After five, six drinks,
After seven, eight drinks,
The bottles started tae run oot,
The bottles started tae run oot.

Chorus

On the wee ship, there’s nae a drop tae drink,
Lost, nae pastis, nae hope, ye ken what I mean?
Spinnin’ roon’ like a bunch o’ dafties,
Prayin’ for some grub tae fill oor bellies.

Then the captain shouts, “C’mon pal, dinnae fash yersel’,”
We’ll find somethin’ tae light up, hae a laugh as well,
Even when the bottles started tae run oot,
There was always a wee stash hidin’, aye, nae doubt.

Couplet 2

We drew straws,
We drew straws,
Tae see who’d run doon and fetch supplies,
Tae see who’d run doon and fetch supplies.

The lot fell on the wee lad,
The lot fell on the wee lad:
“C’mon bro, fetch the pastis an’ the dry herb,
C’mon bro, fetch the pastis an’ the dry herb.”

Chorus

On the wee ship, there’s nae a drop tae drink,
Lost, nae pastis, nae hope, ye ken what I mean?
Spinnin’ roon’ like a bunch o’ dafties,
Prayin’ for some grub tae fill oor bellies.

Then the captain shouts, “C’mon pal, dinnae fash yersel’,”
We’ll find somethin’ tae light up, hae a laugh as well,
Even when the bottles started tae run oot,
There was always a wee stash hidin’, aye, nae doubt.

Couplet 3

He prayed tae the Good Mither,
He prayed tae the Good Mither:
Down in the hold, stash well hidden,
Down in the hold, stash well hidden.

Then there she comes oot the hold,
Then there she comes oot the hold,
Bringin’ pastis an’ the green fairy,
Bringin’ pastis an’ the green fairy.

Chorus

On the wee ship, there’s nae a drop tae drink,
Lost, nae pastis, nae hope, ye ken what I mean?
Spinnin’ roon’ like a bunch o’ dafties,
Prayin’ for some grub tae fill oor bellies.

Then the captain shouts, “C’mon pal, dinnae fash yersel’,”
We’ll find somethin’ tae light up, hae a laugh as well,
Even when the bottles started tae run oot,
There was always a wee stash hidin’, aye, nae doubt.

Couplet 4

She brings us aw the gear,
She brings us aw the gear:
Bread, wine, an’ sh-sh-shit, pure chaos,
Bread, wine, an’ sh-sh-shit, pure chaos.

And we shout: “Good Mither!”
And we shout: “Good Mither!”
“Back tae port tae refill the barrels,
Back tae port tae refill the barrels.”

Final Chorus

On the wee ship, there’s alway more tae drink,
Bread, wine stacked up on the sink,
The Good Mither topped up the bar,
We dance, we smoke, we raise the bar.

Then the captain shouts, “C’mon pal, let’s party,”
We survived the whole mess, ken ye see?
Wee ship, big stormy sea,
We dock in the port… a bit dizzy, aye, truly.
