Sea Shanty – Feminist Pirate Chantey – Key & Peele Sea Shanty – Feminist Pirate Chantey – Key & Peele – Lyrics I once met a lass so fine She was drunk on barley wine I’d been to sea for months of three I knew I could make her mine And the lass was past consent So it was off with her we went And we threw her in bed and rested her head And we left, ’cause that’s what Gentlemen do A woman has a right to a drink or two Without worryin’ about what you will do! We say “Yo, ho!” but we don’t say “ho,” ‘Cause “ho” is disrespectful, yo There once was a girl from Leeds Who I heard was good on her knees So I docked my ship for an overnight trip To take care of all of my needs She was fine as the tales did tell And my mast began to swell So I laid her down and raised her gown And performed cunnilingus for an hour or so Always take care of yer lady fair ‘Cause they deserve as much attention down there! We say “Yo, ho!” but we don’t say “ho,” ‘Cause “ho” is disrespectful, yo I once had a woman so fair Whose womb contained my heir With a son by my side, the seas we’d ride The child she would bear But my girl she was no fool She was working her way through school So I did support when she chose to abort Because it’s her body and therefore her choice No, we don’t say “booty” ’less we talkin’ ’bout gold We don’t look at chests ‘less it’s treasure holds! With a hat and a feather and a cutlass on our hip We don’t ever say “she” when we’re talking ’bout a ship! We don’t say “bitch” and we don’t say “whore,” ‘Cause that language leads to things like body dysmorphia Thar was a lady with a golden eye And the doctor said she would die So she emptied her purse to lift the curse And prayed to stay alive She awoke the very next day And in her grave she lay But the scariest part of the story from the start Is I bet you assumed the doctor was a man Women are doctors too And for a fraction of the doubloons! We say “Yo, ho!” but we don’t say “ho,” ‘Cause “ho” is disrespectful, yo Thar was a slut with tits ta here And an ass that- ‘Cause it’s “Yo, ho!” but we don’t say “ho,” ‘Cause “ho” is disrespectful, yo
