Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh Schmekel the pirate pig sailed wild upon the foam
With Captain Neon by his side
That creaking deck their home
They’d raid the rum and gold by night
Sing loud till morning gray
Till a shadow like a mountain rose and blocked the bay
[Chorus]
Yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
Hoist your heart and dance a jig
Snout to the storm
He’ll never swig
(hey!)
From fear or from the deep so big
Sing yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
[Verse 2]
The Kraken’s eyes like lanterns burned
Its beak as black as tar
It wrapped the hull in knotting arms
It snapped the mainmast spar
One curling limb snatched Neon down
The sea slammed shut above
“By trotters
Not my captain now
Not the fool I love”
[Chorus]
Yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
Hoist your heart and dance a jig
Snout to the storm
He’ll never swig
(woah)
From fear or from the deep so big
Sing yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
[Verse 3]
He bit that tendon
Bristled fierce
Slid down the slick green hide
He dove into the swirling dark
Let bubbles be his guide
Past broken bells and rusted steel
Past bones that softly shone
He found the gate of Davie’s realm
A crooked coral throne
[Verse 4]
Old Davie grinned with teeth of shells
“This soul is mine to keep
Your captain Neon signed in sighs when first he kissed the deep”
Said Schmekel
“Keep the cursed and cruel
Keep every lying knave
But Neon's heart is stubborn bright
It never learned to cave”
[Chorus]
Yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
Hoist your heart and dance a jig
Snout to the storm
He’ll never swig
(hey!)
From fear or from the deep so big
Sing yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
[Bridge]
He charged that barnacled old fiend
Hooves drumming on the stone
He cracked the inky chains in half
He gnawed through flesh and bone
The Kraken roared
The seabed shook
The locker’s hinges blew
And up they rode on bursting air
Two shadows cutting through
[Verse 5]
They burst back through the churning waves
Like cannon smoke and flame
Neon coughing
Blade held high
Roaring Schmekel’s name
The Kraken
Freed from Davie’s grip
Sank gentle in the brine
While pig and captain shared a grin and one last swig of brine
[Chorus]
Yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
Hoist your heart and dance a jig
Snout to the storm
He’ll never swig
(woah-oh)
From fear or from the deep so big
Sing yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
[Chorus]
Yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
Stamp your boots and dance a jig
From locker grave to stormy rig
(hey!)
He dragged his captain from the big
Sing yo-ho
Schmekel the pirate pig
