Lyrics
Ahab oh ahab I bear thee no grudge, thy course in life, i care not to judge, but if ye' a mind to distrupt my good time, i'll bring unto thee, a fate so unkind.
I roam these seas bearing no one ill will, seeking warm waters and seas that are still. wanting safe passage from the cold waters chill, and to avoid Queqay's harpoons that kill.
Ahab oh ahab please heed starbucks plee, fly these deadly waters let this white whale be, release this obsession ye long to hold fast, and pray that your god will see your madness pass.
many a man has gone down to the see, seeking his fortune on the bounty there be, but davey jones locker is filled to the brim, with the bones of the brave souls who luck has run thin.
Now i hear the oars of the long boats in chase, i see the fear on the harpooners face, my vengence is swift as i seal ahab's fate and deliver his soul down below to hells gate.
Ahab oh ahab ye sought out revenge, but found only death for your ship and your men, t'was not the white whale that delivered thy end, but the pride of a captain and his lust for revenge.
