lyrics

LIAM
When I was a lad of only ten
I got mixed up with rebel men
They liked my cut so now i'm here
A powderboy on a privateer

ARI (spoken)
The Lady Grey!

GRACE (spoken)
The greyest lady!

JAIMY/LIAM
So me and all my turncoat mates
Have pledged our lives to the thirteen states
Until we win I guarantee
If the ship goes down then so do we!

JT (spoken)
Down with the ship!

JOHNSON (spoken)
Down with the rum!

LIAM
What if yer powder's soaked with water?

ALL
I am bound to stick around!

GRACE
What if yer faced with certain slaughter?

ALL
I ain't goin' nowhere.

We have said we're true till our dying day
So we ain't goin' nowhere!
Raise the red white blue of the USA!
We're the steadfast crew of The Lady Grey!

CARL (spoken)
Fuck the Mayflower Two!

ARI
This used to be a merchant craft
Before we heard from the naval draft

JOHNSON
We ditched our cargo when we could
And bound our hearts to the flag for good

JT
What if we face some Tory flounders?

ALL
I am bound to stick around!

CARL
Packed to the gills with 18-pounders!

ALL
I ain't goin' nowhere!

We have said we're true till our dying day
So we ain't goin' nowhere!
Raise the red white blue of the USA
We're the steadfast crew of The Lady Grey!

JOHNSON
What if yer ma an' pa are skewered?

ALL
I am bound to stick around

LIAM
What if ya mix up wind and leeward?

ALL
I ain't goin' nowhere

ARI
What if the mate gets drunk and falls off?

ALL
I am bound to stick around!

JAIMY
What if some pirates cut your balls off!!

ALL
I ain't goin' nowhere!

JT
What if yer ship's attacked by rhinos!

ALL
I am bound to stick around!

JAIMY
What if all of reality is just the dream of a magic dolphin!

ALL
I ain't goin' nowhere

We have said we're true till our dying day
So we ain't goin' nowhere!
Raise the red white blue of the USA...
We're the steadfast crew of The Lady Grey!
