I've wrestled 'round with raging squalls
And it's wreaking havoc
I wrest my course to break my crew
Of their filthy habits
They raid the righteous sailors seeking honest trade
They compromise the kind of calm we all embrace
It's full ahead in spite of all
The sea has teeth that tear you
As you rise and fall
Hold fast to hope; abandon gall
This vessel vexes every nerve
And so tests my patience
But I know it's more than I deserve
This relic of ancients
She's listing like a drunken midshipmen ashore
But she'll right herself when she in ballast is restored
It's full ahead in spite of all
The sea has teeth that tear you
As you rise and fall
Hold fast to hope; abandon gall
It's full ahead in spite of all
The sea has teeth that tear you
As you rise and fall
Hold fast to hope; abandon gall
