i don't know  cheesy
Alright, you asked for it Wink

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!

Hehehe... well, I'm an opera singer (tenor, singing with Opera Colorado)... if you need any sung parts, I'm your man. If not... well, I flee!

Oooooo....sea shanties would be fun for Hero7's Norse Village!!!!
So the Norse culture was a wee bit too early for shanties, but nothin' like a good pirate song to wake ya in the morn!!!  ARGH!!!!

And welcome to the forums!
You know... now ye tempt me! Wouldn't you think it'd be a rather good thing to sing "The Clean Song" as done by the Corsairs? LOL, I can just see a group of old sea-wolves breaking out into it...

And if you don't know about it, please tell me so I can enlighten you ;)
