This is a special style of music created by pirates. Apart from the usual sea chanties, it has become popular to create intricate rhymes set to a steady beat. All that boredom at sea can foster creativity. Ship-hop topics include life at sea, wenches, ale, killing a guy, wenches, and keelhauling.

*giggles like a schoolgirl* so hilarious. this one will take a lot of thought.

I'm gonna have to come up with one, at some point or another.
Don't expect one too quick though, my songwriting skills are full of fail.

MAIDEN VOYAGE (attributed to the crew of the Blue Hingle)

I like big hulls, and I cannot tell a fib,
Any salty sea dog worth the cut of his jib,
knows when ya see a gall-e-on with a strong bowline,
An a firstmate who knows to use a tail o nine,
you get STERN! (All hands on deck!),
Grab the cabin boy by the scruff of his neck,
Make im swab the flank, until she shine
Else he be walkin', this plank o' mine!
Unfurl the sails, and down yer grog,
Time to cut an run, lest ye receive a flog!

So, shimates! (arr!) shipmates! (yarr!)
Has your vessel got the sway? (clocks yes!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy ship!
Weigh anchor!

I like big hulls, and I cannot tell a fib,
Any filthy sea wench worth the cut of er jib,
knows when ya see a gall-e-on with a powerful wake,
An the bugger in the tugger gotta do a double take,
you get WEAK! (At the knees!),
cap'n's been a-askin' n ya say, "seaman please!"


get to the rudda worthless yella land lubber,
afore maiden voyage is through,
ye be rubbin yer back, n hittin' the sack,
Unless a wench come lookin' fer you.

So, wenches! (arr!) wenches! (yarr!)
Has your vessel got the sway? (clocks yes!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy ship!
Weigh anchor!

(Take er to the dry docks, she got rum futtocks) [4x]

THE SHOOT SHOOT SONG - orig. The Cutless. Author Lacey Lovell after a particularly close encounter with a rather large prayer fish trying to take down the boat.

Hey, yar - I wanna shoot, matey!

'Ere I go, 'ere I go, 'ere I go again (again?)
Crew, what's my weakness? (Rum!)
Ok then, sailin', sailin', mindin' my business (word)
Heard a clockin' sound an' I couldn' believe this
I swear, I stared, Alioe my witness
The ship had it shadow it were somethin' kinda...uh
Wicked, wicked (oooo) - had to check it
I'm not scared so I head fer th' back.
Oh No! Back now mateys!
See what I saw down thare were a prayer fish, arr.
Big as the ship, so I head back t' my bag of tricks
Then I thought fer a min', make me wanna shoot it
Kill it, like a Bad Brothers hit.
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don't know what to do, 'cept to do, what you'd do.
So well this hellfish, made me wanna shoot shoot shoot

Shoot shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot

It were packed in th' stacks, right down th' back
Arr I wanna thank th' smithy fer a gun like that (thanks, Vik)
Can I get bang fer me click clicka shooty?
It needs t' be strong, an' somethin' I can use-y.
A shotgun - bang! What's up with that thang?
I wanna know how does it bang?
Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Viktor
Like Noe said you're a sexy clocker-
Well-a, I need it t' be wild, shoot that fish from a mile,
Give it up, make me smile
Bring me th' gun, I wanna have some fun
Come (come) and (hmmm) give me some of that gun-fun
Brass trigger, silver clip, can I make it shoot? (please)
Baby, that hellfish, makes me wanna...

Shoot shoot ba-doot (Matey hey!)
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot (Don't ye know I wanna shoot matey!)

Well let me bring you back to the subject, prayer fish pest
Make you get scared, make you work up a sweat
When you hand-me-th'-pistol me hearty
Not fallin' in love but I'm fallin' fer yer [shot-gun boom]
When I get it better believe it's a stop-clockin' saviour
[Yo, Lacey, I wanna like, help ye]
Getcha gun Vik coz its time t' get set.

On your mark, get set, go, let me go, let me shoot
To the fish in the back of me boat
I spend all me gold, on this beauty
Shoot fer some booty, like y'all should be.
Ooh I like this gun with its big gleam,
Gives me nice dreams, makes me wanna scream
Oooh I like what it do, when I do, what I do.
Makes me wanna shoot shoot shoot.

Shoot shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot

[Oh, my goddess, crew, look at this
It is th' biggest clocker ever,
And it's comin' this way! Oooo!]

I and the A wanna kick with me, saavy (uh-huh)
Hit this fish clockin' swiftly! (yeah) It moves pretty quickly (that's right) I'll shoot it fer th' hell o' it, jus' watch out fer it,
Mmm mmm mmm, I think I hit it! (kill it)
They want th' bod, here's the grapple rod (grapple rod)
Twelve feet with a barb (damn) and have ya haulin' like a pass-ive (yeah)
Bad Brothers throw th' net on it 'fore I shoot you, pray I hit you
It's watcha wanna do,
Whatcha wanna do
Before I shoot, shoot, shoot.

Shoot shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot
Shoot ba-doot ba-doot ba-doot
