A little ditty about an integral part of our hobby. To the tune of Coming Round the Mountain. This is the result of having that song stuck in my head all day. now I've got a different song stuck in my head, but I'm having a lot more fun with the new one. She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks She'll be listing hard a starboard She'll have both her pumps a'screamin' She'll be sinking by the stern when she sinks! She'll have sixteen holes below when she sinks she'll have sixteen holes below when she sinks She'll be missing half her boot she'll have fifty holes above She'll be holier than $#!+ when she sinks! YEEHAW! She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start She will hit the rocky bottom She'll be covered up with pond scum She'll be sunk in fifteen minutes from the start! She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour she'll be raised up from the bottom she'll be patched up and dried out She'll be fighting fit again in half an hour Note: the damage portrayed in this shanty is exaggerated. No ship known to man could survive long enough to take this much damage (Rodney sank with 8 belows, and this song claims a ship survives long enough to take 16). Comments, suggestions, and additions are welcome.
Yea you got a point. You must have alot of freetime but the song is pretty cool. You should put it on youtube.
