Sea Shanty Lyrics

Chorus:

Swift may our dirigible fly,

O’er valleys low and mountains high.

Someday, when the treasure is mine,

I’ll take my love and go.

Verses:

The strange, old duke had finally died.

The search for an heir ranged far and wide.

They combed the American countryside,

To a man in Chicago.

(chorus)

The dukedom was awash with debt.

The new duke said, “This is what I get?

I’ll find a way to get out of it yet.

Though how I do not know.”

(chorus)

His neighbor was a pirate lass,

With an airship, swords, and lots of sass.

He turned to her for help. Alas!

He feared she would say no.

(chorus)

She thought for a time, then said, “You see,

I’ll help you fake your death and flee.

But pirates never work for free,

So a debt to me you’ll owe.”

(chorus)

“I seek a treasure beyond compare.

Come help me find it, if you dare.”

The duke looked at the pirate fair

And said, “All right, let’s go.”

(chorus)

So duke and pirate off they flew,

But their treasure hunt may find friendship too.

And even lead to a love that’s true.

If fate declares it so.

(chorus x2)
