Batten down the hatches lads the Captains going to sing |
|
The ship is sailing happy upon a placid sea.
(Chorus) Batten down the hatches lads the Captain is going to sing.
The blue water turns a sea-sick green!
(Chorus) Batten down the hatches lads the Captain is going to sing.
The waves rise higher and the winds blow a melody in the riggings.
(Chorus) Batten down the hatches lads the Captain is going to sing.
I have decided to become a song writer and get really rich. But I think I need a little help. Perhaps a lot of help?

It has that Gilbert & Sullivan feel to it. But you need more. Keep at it!
I wish I was at my other computer-I have some similar efforts saved I'd love to share with you.

Ms. Jitterbug and Mr. Hardhead.
Remember not long ago in the lounge people would add on a verse. Oh it was fun!
When the Captain starts to singing he is singing up a storm.

Lets hear your input some time Hardhead.

from unnatural causes.
Who is Stan Rogers? And please do not laugh at my ignorance. You can tell by my musings that I am very sensitive. As is my song. Hee hee hee!
