[[Chorus 1] Take my boots and my blood-red spleen Take me straight to the isle unseen And I swear I’ll find those two who’ve been And you’ll wish you’d never brought me in [Verse 1] I got the tip from a captain one day With a few sharp questions, he spilled the way He took my traitor friend and the girl who fled Plus hungry poets who’d rather be dead Wait a minute, I’m marching on through I’ll swim if the sea says I can’t get through Not a mermaid’s song will make me stray No siren’s tune will make me stay No whirlpool’s pull, no rocks in my way I’m Dr. Blood, and I’m here to say That isle’s got my friends, and I want them back I’ll march through the sea on a blood-red track I’ll make that captain regret his cruise And give those werewolves the swimming blues [Verse 3] The wolves all whisper, “Let’s toss him away He’s bad for the crew, and he won’t obey” They followed my trail to the edge of the sea Planning to dump me quite quietly I said, “You can throw me, but here’s a surprise I’ll do you one better before your eyes I’ll swim to the isle, so don’t follow me Or you’ll pay the price in the cold, dark sea” But they followed anyway, what a doggone disgrace Some dog-paddled after me, right in my wake Now wolves in the water are howling with dread While I swim to Evernight, straight up ahead!
