Treading the Seas for Pirate Gold
By Hucklescary Finn
Heave Ho Away We Go, Treading the Seas for Pirate GoldHeave Ho Away We Go, Treading the Seas for Pirate GoldLong-time sailing in a pirate band, barely recall the smell of landor the words to a song that’s not about hearty buccaneers with hearts of doubtChorusScamalot a mecca for pirate tunes rising up again from the ruinsgonna be a battle for the pirate crown—Hucklescary Finn is the captain nowChorusGotta keep sailin’ til I find my home, hopin’ that I never end up alonejust a shy buccaneer with a heart of gold, peddling a story that never gets oldChorus©2006 Kevin Hendrickson Music

Gruel II — A Pirate’s Christmas at Sea
The gruel is on the table and then there’s a knockScabby thought he was alone then oh what a shockIt’s Otis and Skreebeard and Perko, they couldn’t let Scabby spend Christmas aloneDown in Scabby’s cabin the hearth is aglowanother round of brandy and the evening flowsat the end of each tale they cheer and they clap, a kitten is curled up in Otis’ lapPerhaps they’re in for stormy weather, shaking the ship ’til the crew is terrifiedbut as long as they’re together the clouds will part and the stars are going to shine.everything is peaceful and they fall asleep fastthe christmas tree is glowing, at the top of the mastfrom miles away it’s just a small blip, a beacon for santa to find scabby’s shipwhat a jolly yo holly ho christmas it’s gonna be’cus the happiest time for a pirate is christmas at sea (repeat)©2006 Kevin Hendrickson Musi

Ghost Ship
By Hucklescary Finn
Who’s steering the ship? x3I gotta knowThere’s a ghost man drivin’ this shipAnd he won’t let his fingers off of the wheelAnd he makes his own wind as we blow as we blowHe’s got no face just an old hollow glowWho’s that ghost man drivin’ the shipWon’t say where we’re goin, won’t say if we’re deadAs we plow the dark waters of a murky coastlineI have to admit that we’re makin’ good timeWho’s steering the ship? x3Or old blackbeard just crackin’ the whipThere’s a ghost man drivin’ the shipSneak up behind very slow very slowI touch him and he starts to glow, my body’s absorbed and before I knowI’m steerin’ the shipOh I’m steerin’ the shipFeels good behind the wheel now we’re flyin’ oh flyin’I’m steerin’ the shipKeep it steady boys©2006 Kevin Hendrickson Music

Scamalot Rising
By Hucklescary Finn
A silly joke that went too far, was never meant to go so far,now it grows and grows, and I think it’s just bizarreMy granite walls are overgrown another pirate’s on the throneIt’s just unstoppable––another kingdom overthrownNow time has slowed, and overflowedspilling over the crusty mold that made the landswhere otis rex and skreebeard standIt wakes them up and they climb the towerHovering high with their magical powersWhat’s that speck on the blue, it’s Scabby’s ship—he’s comin’ for you!Scamalot is rising from the ashes once againLike an old old friendMagic rings and pirate screams are swirling in my headTake the crown againScamalot was never gone, it only was unseenUnder velvet greenI’m sending droids in all directions to obtainWhat’s the next big thing? Have you see my ring? Have you seen my ring?©2006 Kevin Hendrickson Music

Burial At Sea
By Pirate Jenny
Why are we so temporary? Our bodies they rot and decay. We might be here for an eternity or just day.The answer lays deep in the waters, there’s a better life waiting down there. Mermaids and mermen are calling, sing back if you dare.Pickle my bones in the ocean I need to be buried at seaI want to bunk at the bottom the fish will make short work of meUnder that crazy old ocean, where swimmers and crawlers are kingLife up above in the atmosphere don’t mean a thingOur bodies are just temporary, we’re zipped up in flesh for a time,Soon enough we will be dipping our bones in the brine.Pickle my bones in the ocean I need to be buried at seaI want to bunk at the bottom the fish will make short work of me©1994 Kevin Hendrickson
