Shanty Gospel
Written by Cindy Tonkin
A parody built off of Pirate's Gospel by Alela Diane
LYRICS
00:00 / 01:04
CHORUS
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Yo ho yo ho yo ho ho
Sing the Shanty Gospel
Sing the Shanty Gospel
We all are bound for South Australia
We’re gonna round the old Cape horn
We’re gonna pass by Valparaiso
And be back by Tuesday morn.
CHORUS
We’ll step aboard the ocean liner
A full ten thousand miles away
we’ll heave a pawl by Santiago
molasses rum we’ll drink today.
CHORUS
We’ll be bully in the alley
we sing an ancient sailors prayer
We’ll all be shipwrecked while out whaling
Whether the seas be foul or fair
CHOURS
And when the hard times are all past us
when the good days are all gone
we’ll take the high road to shenandoah
The Onion ends the evening song
CHORUS
