  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Krakens

    It’s beginning to look a lot like Krakens
    Everywhere you go

    Take a look at the tentacles , it's attacking once again
    With furious might and slimy ink that slows

    It's beginning to look a lot like Krakens
    Skelie Ships at every shore
    But the explodiest sight to see is the horror that will be
    On your ship floor

    A pair of gold and shiny loots and a pistol that shoots
    Is the wish of Barney and Ben
    Birds that'll talk and will go for a walk
    Is the hope of Janice and Jen
    And Bob and Rob can hardly wait for it to storm again

    It's beginning to look a lot like Krakens
    Everywhere you go
    There's a Meg in the shores o’ plenty , one in the wilds as well
    It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the cove

    It's beginning to look a lot like Krakens
    Soon the guns will shoot
    And the thing that will make 'em sing is the fire that you bring
    Right within your heart

    It's beginning to look a lot like Krakens
    Skelie Ships at every shore
    But the explodiest sight to see is the horror that will be
    On your own ship floor

    Sure there are Krakens, once more

  • Loving reading some of these, what a talented bunch of pirates you all are !

  • Silent night, foggy night
    All is calm, all is bright
    'Round yon merchant Captain and Crew
    Holy planks so plentiful and wild
    Loot in heavenly peace
    Loot in heavenly peace

    Beautiful night, bright night!
    Krakens quake at the sight!
    Glories stream from heaven afar;
    Hurdy Gurdies sing Becalmed!
    A pirate legend is born!
    A pirate legend is born!

    Silent night, windy night
    Chest of Athena, oh, lovely pure light
    Radiant beams from Thy joyful face
    With the dawn of redeeming grace
    Pirate Legend at birth
    Pirate Legend at birth
    Pirate Legend at birth!

    To the tune of I Saw Three Ships:

    I saw three sloops come sailing in
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    I saw three sloops come sailing in
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    And where did sail those sloops all three
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    Oh where did sail those sloops all three
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    They crashed right into Dagger Tooth
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    They crashed right into Dagger Tooth
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    And all the pirates patched the holes
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    And all the pirates patched the holes
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    And all the treasure got cashed in
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    And all the treasure got cashed in
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    So let us all toast grog again
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    So let us all toast grog again
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

    I saw three sloops come sailing in
    On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
    I saw three sloops come sailing in
    On Christmas Day in The Wilds

  • @sshteeve
    I heard this song sounds good on the Hurdy Gurdy & Concertina.
    As seen here And Here
    It sounds nice & pirate-y


    Please rest ye boney skeletons
    Where ever ye may lay
    Ye have fallen upon the deck
    And down there ye must stay
    May the sea welcome you
    When you're old and grey
    Oh when the bell does not toll
    The bell does not toll
    Oh when the bell does not toll

    Please rest ye boney skeletons
    Where ever ye may lay
    May your bones not rise again
    And shamble in decay
    On some godforsaken isle
    Where you're doomed to waste away
    Oh when the bell does not toll
    The bell does not toll
    Oh when the bell does not toll

    Please rest ye boney skeletons
    Where ever ye may lay
    For we have come for you now
    In the hopes that we will slay
    Grab the chests and bid farewell
    and sail off on our way
    Oh when the bell does not toll
    The bell does not toll
    Oh when the bell does not toll

    Please rest ye boney skeletons
    Where ever ye may lay
    Ye have fallen upon the deck
    And down there ye must stay
    May the sea welcome you
    When you're old and grey
    Oh when the bell does not toll
    The bell does not toll
    Oh when the bell does not toll

  • @sshteeve thanks for suggestin I should enter me Christmas shanty on here, that ye think it be good enough does bring me much cheer. There’s so many great ones already I see, and it’s an honour just to be in such talented company 🍻

    Shanty Special - Pirate Christmas

    I'm Dreamin of a pirate Christmas,
    out on the sea that I've watched grow.
    Where the waves will glisten,
    and a new ship I'll christen,
    with lots of Gilded Quest cargo.

    I'm Dreamin of a Pirate Christmas,
    with every cursed ship that I sight.
    When their lights seem so festive,
    their aggression I can forgive,
    and sing them jingles as we fight.

    I'm Dreamin of a Pirate Christmas,
    while on the hunt for gold I go.
    When I dig for treasure,
    it gives me pleasure,
    to hear that thud from down below.

    I'm Dreamin of a Pirate Christmas,
    with every 'nanna that I bite.
    Soon I'll be drunk and merry,
    though I'll not touch the sherry,
    for grog be the only thing that's right.

    I'm Dreamin of a Pirate Christmas,
    and I really want ye all to know.
    How ye've made me year,
    by acceptin me on here,
    and how it's left me heart aglow.

    I'm Dreamin of a Pirate Christmas,
    with every shanty that I write.
    And though I might not be sailin that night...
    I hope that all of yer Christmases are bright.

    There you go :P

  • @vonwaka that's brilliant!

  • This song is a celebration of a pirate becoming a legend and how I feel what pirate legends are supposed to bring to others.

    Do You Hear What I hear?

    Said the ocean current to the little crab
    Do you see what I see
    Way up on the waves little crab
    Do you see what I see
    A ship, a ship
    Sailing in the night
    With a wake as big as a wave
    With a wake as big as a wave

    Said the little crab to the skeleton
    Do you hear what I hear
    Sounding through the waves skeleton
    Do you hear what I hear
    A tune, a tune
    Lilting above the spray
    With a voice as big as the sea
    With a voice as big as the sea

    Said the skeleton to the Pirate Lord
    Do you know what I know
    In your mighty sea Pirate Lord
    Do you know what I know
    A legend, a legend
    Rising from the fog
    Let us bring him titles and gold
    Let us bring him titles and gold

    Said the Lord to the pirates everywhere
    Listen to what I say
    Watch for him pirates everywhere
    Listen to what I say
    The legend, the legend
    Sailing through the night
    He will give us treasure and light
    He will give us treasure and light

    He will give us treasure and light

  • @Deckhands or @Quartermasters is it worth unsticking the thread now that all is done and dusted?
    I appreciated the sticky when it was running, but it perhaps is not pertinent now - Davy Jones' locker time?

  • @sshteeve

    Aye, aye Cap'n and what a wonderful collection of pirate carols we have!!
