Lyrics
It was six years ago, give or take a few moons
This old pirate learned one of his favourite tunes
If you'll sit by the fireside, peaceful and quiet
I'll spin you the story of how I came by it
I was laid below deck, much too tired to sleep
I'd plumped up my pillow and tried counting sheep
And that's when I heard it, as loud as you please
A magical melody, caught on the breeze
I sprang to my feet and stared wildly around
To seek out the source of that strange, ghostly sound
And up in the crow's nest, at last I set eyes on
A galleon sailing across the horizon
Four strong was their crew, and each had in their hand
An instrument, making a whole pirate band!
And as they came closer, one raised to her lips
A trumpet to carry her voice between ships
"Come join our adventure, and carry our song!
"We're hunting a monster that's thirty feet long
"And if we're to summon the beast, we'll need five
"But no guarantees you'll come back home alive!"
They hauled me aboard and presented a drum
On which one of the crew played a "rat-a-tat-tum"
Another just like it was tossed at my feet
All five of us strangers, we took up the beat
The waves started churning, and with a great roar
Rose a sea monster bigger than any before
Its four eyes were clouded with hatred and spite
As it opened its jaws and lunged forward to bite
We'd summoned the Megalodon, big as a whale
Now it rocked our poor ship with a slap of its tail
Sending one of our crew hurtling right overboard
And tearing great holes through which seawater poured
The sun rose as all of us stood side-by-side
Landing shot after shot on the creature's back side
We all were exhausted, but kept up the fight
Then with one final bellow... It sank out of sight!
We patched up our wounds, there was no time to rest
And I asked who'd suggested this treacherous quest
They promised rewards and that's why, some time later
I met 'Merry' Merrick, the shanty's creator
He told me his story, a life come undone
At the merciless maw of the Hungering One
He seemed rather sad, so I asked him instead
How he'd live out his days now the monster was dead
That old bearded face cracked a snaggle-toothed grin
He dropped to a whisper, sat close, and leaned in
"There's more who'll be fated to watery graves!
"You'll learn what's still lurking, down under the waves..."
