Ba-dada-dada-badadada Ba-dadadada-da-aya Ba-dada Hey Hey She sat high at the bow and wide at the beam The finest ship you'd ever seen The Katherine Anne, feared by one and all Not sailed by man The wind picked up, she slipped her chains The luff pulled taught on the main The sky turned black, it started to rain As we all rose up from our watery grave Hugh Pigot was the skipper of this cursed ship of fools A brash man, a bully and a bigot With no respect We couldn't follow his rule And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green Ba-dada-dada-badadada Ba-dadadada-da-aya Ba-dada Hey Hey Her figurehead was a mockingbird She sang so beautiful it was absurd The sailors passing through the night Could hear her sing and they were chilled with fright The first mate lost his mind in a brawl Did nothing more than stargaze The bosun made no sense at all The crew were lost in drink And hell was raised (I'll knock your block off you dirty land lubber!) The Captain pressed hard on his crew The spray whipped up as the wind blew Mutiny was the word aboard This mortal Captain's fate had been assured And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed As the moon turns red through the misty haze Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it We're all going to hell in a hand basket Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed As the moon turns red through the misty haze Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it We're all going to hell (Ooh) in a hand basket As the boat sailed on through the eye of the storm The Captain took a nip of his rum Unaware of his plight, his drink was laced and swords were drawn Should we tie you to the larboard? Better still the boat's been scuppered The fish will strip you to the bone On this ship of fools we shall roam Far too late now to make a stand, Captain you're a bastard man You're destined now to sail the Seas for all eternity on the Katherine Anne Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed As the moon turns red through the misty haze Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it We're all going to hell (Ooh) in a hand basket And the Captain looked lean with his lips pursed and mean As the bow cut deep through the seafoam green And the crew they danced on to the pipe and the drum As the boat cut clean through the seafoam green Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed As the moon turns red through the misty haze Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it We're taking you to hell Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth(We're taking you to hell in a hand basket) This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell) As the moon turns red through the misty haze (in a hand basket, in a hand basket) Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth (We're taking you, we're taking you to hell)(Land ho!) This old girl well she's heading South (in a hand basket) Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell) As the moon turns red through the misty haze (In a hand basket) Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (We're taking you, we're taking you to hell in a hand basket) Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth(We're taking you to hell) This old girl well she's heading South (In a hand basket, in a hand basket) Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell) As the moon turns red through the misty haze (We're taking you to hell) Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (we're taking you to hell in a hand basket) (Swab the bloody decks you dogs!) Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (We're taking you, we're taking you to hell in a hand basket) Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it (We're taking you to hell in a hand basket) Hold your tongue Captain, watch your mouth (We're taking you, we're taking you to hell) This old girl well she's heading South Your eyes are wide and they're bright and glazed (We're taking you to hell) As the moon turns red through the misty haze (In a hand basket) Your face it says it all, I dare you to ask it We're all going to hell
