Shanty Man

[00:00.04] Now modern ships carry mighty funny gear
[00:02.64] And away, get away, you shanty man
[00:05.88] Ain't seen a halyard for many's a year
[00:08.54] And they got no use for a shanty man
[00:11.61] Slick new fittings are all your style
[00:14.07] And away, get away, you shanty man
[00:17.22] All very clever, but it just ain't right
[00:19.63] And they got no use for a shanty man
[00:22.74] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[00:25.66] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[00:28.57] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[00:31.29] When they got no use for a shanty man
[00:34.18] Levers to pull and buttons to press
[00:36.72] And away, get away, you shanty man
[00:39.92] Real-life sailors you meet 'em less
[00:42.28] And they got no use for a shanty man
[00:45.48] Floating computer dressed as a ship
[00:47.80] And away, get away, you shanty man
[00:51.00] Skippered and crewed by a microchip
[00:53.66] And they got no use for a shanty man
[00:56.83] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[00:59.46] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[01:02.52] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[01:04.95] When they got no use for a shanty man
[01:08.25] Soon they'll be sailing by remote control
[01:10.68] And away, get away, you shanty man
[01:13.77] That'll be pleasing for the owners' soul
[01:16.16] And they got no use for a shanty man
[01:19.47] Send their ships from dock to dock
[01:21.86] And away, get away, you shanty man
[01:24.72] While sat upon their arses in an office block
[01:27.31] And they got no use for a shanty man
[01:30.55] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[01:33.34] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[01:36.28] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[01:38.85] When they got no use for a shanty man
[01:41.99] Newfangled gear's no use to you
[01:44.32] And away, get away, you shanty man
[01:47.28] When you're off Cape Horn with your fuses blew
[01:50.13] And they got no use for a shanty man
[01:53.08] Then's the time you rue the day
[01:55.85] And away, get away, you shanty man
[01:58.63] You sent your shanty man away
[02:01.27] And they got no use for a shanty man
[02:04.47] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[02:07.35] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[02:10.26] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[02:12.66] When they got no use for a shanty man
[02:15.65] A sailor's life it once was hard
[02:18.47] And away, get away, you shanty man
[02:21.42] Laid out aloft on a topsail yard
[02:23.99] And they got no use for a shanty man
[02:26.93] Now it don't matter if the winds blow high
[02:29.55] And away, get away, you shanty man
[02:32.34] You can take force ten with your feet still dry
[02:35.38] And they got no use for a shanty man
[02:38.14] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[02:41.12] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[02:44.04] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[02:46.70] When they got no use for a shanty man
[02:49.68] Listen at night and you might hear
[02:52.27] And away, get away, you shanty man
[02:55.12] A ghostly sound on the cool night air
[02:57.73] And they got no use for a shanty man
[03:00.92] Was it a ghost from the distant past?
[03:03.51] And away, get away, you shanty man
[03:06.49] Or just a breeze in the radar mast?
[03:09.11] And they got no use for a shanty man
[03:12.23] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[03:15.27] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[03:18.05] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[03:20.42] When they got no use for a shanty man
[03:23.92] Shanty man, oh, shanty man
[03:26.88] Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
[03:29.69] Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
[03:32.50] When they got no use for a shanty man
[03:40.73]
