Unsinkable Still (Kevin Johnston 2005)

Somebody stole my bread and my booze,

Somebody’s gone and done me wrong

Walked in the galley and the shelves were all bear,

The barrel’s dry and the rum is gone.

They picked the lock and took all the loot

They’ve left me penniless and poor.

They’re wreakin’ havoc and they want me to think

Harmonically they’ve struck a chord

CHORUS:

But we’ll row this boat through a hurricane wind

And when the waves ride hihg, we’ll run her in again

Oh we’re rough and we’re ready always were and always will

Unmistakably, undeniably, unsinkable still.

I know they’re telling tales to my crew,

Of thieves and liars and the like.

Those scary monsters that lurk in the deep

Have giant teeth and appetites.

Visions of mutiny now dance in their heads,

As those stories start to grow,

They’re wreakin’ havoc and they want me to think

That pretty soon she’s gonna blow.

CHORUS

I keep hearing rumors about our demise.

It blows my mind what goes around

Yeah we lost our marbles when that survy set in.

The ship had sank and we all drowned

But I guess thats news to me and the boys

Cuz we got rivers we gonna cross

They’re wreakin’ havoc and they want me to think

Ironically, all hope is lost.

CHORUS

From the album: Unsinkable Still
