STRANDED POD
Fifteen men on a dead whale’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Everyone’s down by the shore
Everyone’s saving the whales
I would join them but am paralyzed
By the weight of the world
Fifteen of 'em now stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Ten of the pod had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Everyone’s down by the shore
Everyone’s trying to save the world
I would join them but am paralyzed
By the weight of the deep blue sea
A man has a right to live or die
And whales have a right to strand themselves
Everyone’s feeling rather helpless
Raise a glass to the stranded pod
Is it suicide?
Is it something we did?
Is it mere confusion?
Or some kind of protest?
Against the injustice
Of living badly
And the lack of
Human kindness
Raise a glass to the stranded pod!
