The Wonton Soups - Siren Song Lyrics

They came down from the captains quarters, entered to me chambers
Saw the grins and ropes and knives and knew I was in danger
They tied me to the anchor and I smiled as it sank
I chuckled as the chain grew taught
And plucked me from the plank
Cross the seas I've traveled forth, yet I could not foresee
A sweet mermaiden with a knife had come to set me free
She swam me to the surface on the starboard of the ship
Bestowed to me her blade as she
Kissed my bearded lip
YO HO YO HO
My salty soul was left for dead and I'm drowning in a sea of red
YO HO YO HO
My salty soul was left for dead and I'm drowning
I clamber up the gunnel as she swam down to the depth
Out for blood and mutiny, I stood wet on the deck
"Back from the dead!" men rabbled and they feared me as it happened
I took the mermaid's blade and introduced it to the captain
Many months I searched for her through stormy seas of wide and
One fine day she surfaced in the turning of the tide
I heard a shout and I rushed about to see what was abreast
The siren she was singin' as she sported naked chest
YO HO YO HO
My salty soul was left for dead and I'm drowning in a sea of red
YO HO YO HO
My salty soul was left for dead and I'm drowning in a sea of red
YO HO YO HO
My salty soul was left for dead and I'm drowning
Smitten by her spell my crew had dove into the water
Sentenced to a salty grave she drew them to the slaughter
Alone I wept on sunken ship, she'd cast a curse on me
In doldrums, I remain today for I am lost at sea
