All hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'Explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!'
Across the straits, around the Horn: how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive
We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all
We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand

I heard something about a follow-up this year, but I haven't seen one yet.

I'd really love to post the words to "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest", but they're actually rather gruesome, so I won't.

Great post, Charly. "A Salty Dog" would have to be one of my top 5 all time favourite songs.... and probably number 1 Procol Harum song.

I'll be settin' the volume to 11 when I get home! Image

So I take it there wasn't any 'monkeying around' then, Paul??
