Song of a ship

Listen now lads and lasses
To the song
Of a fierce gal
Who travels not on grasses.

Listen now to its hum
As it races down the deck
Listen now to the deadly
Beat of the war drums

Listen to its cannons now
Which fire death to all
Listen now to the cries
Of those who did not bow

Listen now to me
Face not the Scourge of the sea
Instead hear this plea
And hurriedly flee
