Scurvy Lyrics


(Captain Angus Bogg) (SCURVY! HA HA HA HAR!
There is scurvy (scurvy! scurvy!) on a pirate ship.
It’ll rot your bones,
So here’s a little tip.
When there is scurvy (scurvy! scurvy!) on your pirate ship
Eat a lime (eat a lime).
Eat a lime (eat a lime).
There is scurvy on a pirate ship.
It’ll rot your bones,
So here’s a little tip.
When there is scurvy on your pirate ship
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
(Bogg) LIVELY NOW BOYS!
WHAT ELSE WE GOT ON THIS HERE PIRATE SHIP?! HAR HAR HAR!

(Crew) CANNON BALLS!
There are cannon balls (cannon balls! cannon balls!) on a pirate ship.
We’ll need forty-four
Just to last the trip,
So load those cannon balls (cannon balls! cannon balls!). Let the powder rip.
Watch ‘em fly (watch ‘em fly!).
Watch ‘em fly (watch ‘em fly!)
There are cannon balls on a pirate ship.
And there’s scurvy.
Let us not forget
When there is scurvy on your pirate ship
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
(Pirate 1) HEY! WHAT ELSE WE GOT ON THIS PIRATE SHIP? HUH? GUYS?
(Crew) PEGLEGS!
There are peglegs (peglegs! peglegs!) on a pirate ship.
When you dance a jig
It’s easier to slip
When there are peglegs (peglegs! peglegs!) on a pirate ship,
So dance a jig (dance a jig!).
Dance a jig (dance a jig!).
There are peglegs on a pirate ship
Along with cannon balls.
Let the powder rip.
Don’t let the scurvy ruin the trip.
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
Eat a lime (eat a lime!).
(Pirate 2) WHAT ELSE WE GOT ON A PIRATE SHIP CAP’N?
(Pirate 3) BUNNY RABBITS!
Hey! There are bu n ny r …
(Pirate 2) Bunny rabbits?
(Pirate 3) Wha-wha. I thought we had some.
(belch)
(Crew) RUM!
There is rum (rum! rum!) on a pirate ship.
If you drink to much
The ship will tip.
Drinkin’ rum (rum! rum!) on a pirate ship
You better share (you better share!).
You better share (you better share!).
There is rum on a pirate ship
Along with peggy legs and cannon balls
Enough to last the trip.
But there is scurvy on a pirate ship,
So eat a lime (eat a lime!).
So eat a lime (eat a lime!).
So eat a lime (eat a lime!).
‘Cause scurvy don’t taste good.
(Crew) EAT A LIME!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Formed in 1999, Captain Bogg & Salty is a band of six musical pirates from Portland whose costumed act blends original music with humor and history. Pirate jigs, mermaid lullabies, and rock & roll sea chanteys are interspersed with nautical advice and humor for buccaneers of all ages. And even though Captain Bogg & Salty’s songs are fun to dance to, audiences may find themselves “accidentally educated” on topics ranging from the pirates’ monetary system (Pieces of Eight) to preventative medicine (prevent Scurvy—eat a lime!).

With styles range from calypso and pop to galloping rock – and always performed in full costume and character – audiences may be convinced that six singing pirates from the Golden Age have learned to play modern rock instruments including bass, drums, melodica, guitar, and accordion. Offering an array of songs with broad appeal, the band plays pretty much the exact same songs at Portland’s rock clubs as it does at schools and libraries. (Some have referred to their performances as “the Fisher Price My-First-Rock-Concert”). Ninety-five percent of the band’s songs are written by the crew. The other five percent includes covers by the Toy Dolls, Otis Redding, and Disney.

Recent performances include The National Orange Show in San Bernardino, Conan’s Pub in Portland, and an ongoing summer 2004 tour of Multnomah County libraries. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
