Alright, you asked for it Imagine two sailors singing, one singing right over the other. It's a bit bawdy, but it manages to be picaresque without being vulgar. Of course, my perceptions of it may be different than the forum admins, and if they find this content objectionable I understand if it can be censored.
Imagine a dockside scene, two sailors singing, bewildering the hero.
Sailor 1:There was a young sailor
Who looked through the glass,
And spied a fair mermaid
With scales on her--
Sailor 2: island
Where seagulls
Fly over their nests
She combed the long hair
That hung over her
Sailor 1:-- shoulders
And caused her
To tickle and itch.
The sailor cried out
"There's a beautiful
Sailor 2: --mermaid,"
A-sitting out
There on the rocks,
The crew came around
A-grabbing their--
Sailor 1: glasses
And crowded four deep
To the rail,
All eager to share
In this fine piece of
Sailor 2:--- news,
Which the captain soon
Heard from the watch.
He tied down the wheel
And he reached for his
Sailor 1:--- crackers
And cheese which
He kept near the door.
In case he might someday
Encounter a
Sailor 2:---mermaid.
He knew he must
Use all his wits
Crying "Throw out a line.
We'll lasso her
Sailor 1:--- flippers."
And then we will
Certainly find
If mermaids are better
Before or be--
Sailor 2: brave
My good fellows."
The captain then said.
"With fortune we'll break
Through her mermaiden head-
Sailor 1:-ing to starboard
They tacked with dispatch.
And caught that fair mermaid
Just under her--
Sailor 2: elbows
And hustled her
Down below decks,
And each took a turn
At her feminine
Sailor 1: setting
Her free at the end
Of the farce,
She splashed in the waves,
Falling flat on her
Sailor 2: after
A while one man
Noticed some scabs,
Soon they broke out with the
Sailor 1: pox
And the scratching
With fury,
Cursing with spleen,
This song may be dull
Sailor 1 & 2: But it's certainly clean!
