"Over He Goes" lyrics

"Over He Goes"

Ya look your captain in the eye (Over he goes)
Swab the deck, I find it dry (Over he goes)
You make a stink about the pay (Over he goes)
Well, it's bound to happen either way (Over he goes)
You sneak a tot more than your share (Over he goes)
And fight with anyone ya dare (Over he goes)
You're way too pissed to trim the sails (Over he goes)
Well, tow the line or join the whales (Over he goes)

You wanna take a ride to the other side
Piles of gold and pretty girls galore?
Well, ya better pay your dues, lots of work to do
Pirate life is not the life without a lash or two

Ya push the capstan outta time (Over he goes)
Sneak the captain's finest wine (Over he goes)
Ya raise the flag without command (Over he goes) (Don't do that)
Pull the yan, but what's a yan? (Over he goes)
You wanna sail the world with me? (Over he goes)
And earn your pennies on the sea (Over he goes)
Ya think you're special? Think you're flash? (Over he goes)
Well, that's great. Now haul your ass! (Over he goes)

You wanna take a ride to the other side?
Who'd you think you are, me laddie, oh
Well, enjoy that silver spoon, it's goin' over too
Better lose some tonnage and I'd like to start with you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

The beef and rum is running low (Over he goes)
Skimmin' from the stocks below (Over he goes)
Well, where'd you learn to haul like that? (Over he goes)
Fore means front you stupid lad! (Over he goes)

You wanna take a ride to the other side?
Not while I got breath within my chest, oh yes
With my patience running thin, your head is gonna spin
Never learned to row, so ya better learn to swim

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Over he goes, over he goes, over he goes, over he goes
Over he goes, over he goes, over he goes, over he goes
