[00:13.47]Fresh out of college, with grades straight from Hell
[00:16.47]I browsed for a trade at which I could excel
[00:19.23]An ad for a ship in need of some manning
[00:22.74]Men, sails, and purpose, but lacking a captain
[00:25.92]What luck, says I, to find such good fortune!
[00:29.07]A few white lies later, I ran down the pier
[00:32.28]Bought me a coat and a cutlass or two
[00:35.25]Jumped on the deck, and I yelled at the crew:
[00:37.95]{Chorus}
[00:38.61]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[00:41.55]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!
[00:44.70]Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!
[00:47.82]Trust me, I'm in control!
[00:55.56]I can’t sing the shanties, it has to be said
[00:58.65]And all of that grog just goes right to my head
[01:01.92]Whale meat is gross and I miss a girl’s laugh
[01:05.10]Five weeks at sea, even Dave seems a catch!
[01:07.95]{Chorus}
[01:08.34]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[01:11.34]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!
[01:14.49]Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!
[01:17.64]Trust me, I'm in control!
[01:22.08]We’ve hit icy waters, no land to be seen
[01:25.11]The food’s getting low and the beer has gone green
[01:28.41]There’s murmurs of discontent under the deck
[01:31.50]If I don’t act fast, it could be my neck!
[01:36.18]So pull up the charts and those weird gold machines
[01:39.36]I see what it says but no clue what it means!
[01:42.48]Just pull on some levers and yank on some chains
[01:45.84]Feign a bad back till we’ve landed again
[01:51.78]{Chorus}
[01:52.11]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[01:53.58]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!
[01:56.79]Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!
[01:59.91]Trust me, I'm in control!
[02:03.06]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[02:06.06]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!
[02:09.30]Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!
[02:12.36]Trust me, I'm in control!
[02:16.89]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[02:18.54]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!
[02:21.90]Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it!
[02:24.96]Trust me, I'm in control!
[02:29.67]Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!
[02:31.17]What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! (BLOODY HELL!)
[02:34.38]Turn hard to port! (This is SHERRY!) Now I've got it! (Screaming)
[02:37.50]Trust me, I'm in control! (MUMMY!)
[02:40.74]Trust me, I'm in control!
