Paint -Part the Second-

"Paint" -Part the Second- Aye kind sir we'll abide by that... Command so verily well given... Yet 'tis to paint this silky ship... We are thus merrily driven! Now lads can ye not... See through yer sot... That paint 'as no worth a'tall? 'Tis but a'run from fethry mop... Thus blots out yer very sun! 'Tis then we see... Those clouds are free... To take on colored hue... We so Sir are naught but seen... As painters of yer krewe! Painters of yer krewe! Painters of yer Krewe! Silken hue...silken hue... We'll paint this ship... Until we slip... Beneath yon fethry dew!! Ayiyiyiyi... 'Tis this whot's come o'that! Painters sold as sailors... Ashore go them now drat! Point me bow to windward isle... Helm now keep her so! Leave these rascal painters... On land to paint it so! Glug glug...glug glug...rum so goes... So paint we shall our shore! Fer if'n we feel her wooden keel... We'll race our paint to her fore! Dratdamn me now...such the fuss... O'paint o'worth nary such! Take this krewe unhand those few... Paint & all to shore! Oh Cap'n so you not us know... We be lads o'talent & color! Leave us here on island's shore... We'll paint 'til we begin to snore! Ashore ashore now wid yer lot.... Take your paint & island taint... For all to see yer glot! Set me sail! To sea we race! A'rid ourselves o'paintly trace! A'sea a'sea...let us now flee... Lest paint be thus our fate! Harho! Harho!...our Cap'n goes! We'll paint our island now! 'Round 'round all 'round we paint... To this island in color taint! A road to home... so we'll paint... Across this very sea.... Home we'll be before 'tis he... Our great Cap'n a'feared o'paint! Paint paint paint away... Paint away this day... Paint to paint our taint is paint... Paint away our days! SeaWolf ©
