V4.5-ALL

[Intro: Sound of a heavy wrench banging against a pipe rhythmically]
[Sound of: A crowd of cats cheering and glasses clinking]
[Vocal: Gritty Baritone Male, Rough French-Aussie Accent]
[Jacques]: Alright, you mangy lot! The suits have gone back to their desks, and the tap is finally flowing! Forget the Captain—I don’t care if he’s a ghost or a toaster as long as this gin is cold!
[Verse 1]
[Vocal: Fast Cocky Male, Youthful High Tenor]
[Ducati]: Upstairs they’ve got the velvet and the fancy chandelier
[Vocal: Energetic Raspy Female, Sharp Spanish Accent]
[Claudia]: Down here we’ve got the oil leaks and the best damn beer!
The Auditor can't find us 'cause he’s scared to get a smudge
On his little yellow clipboard, so I won't hold a grudge!
[Vocal: Playful Soprano Female, Snappy Accent]
[Bianca]: He’s looking for a leader? Well, he won't find one here
Just a nurse with a needle and a healthy dose of fear!
¡Qué risa! Who needs a Captain in a fancy locked room?
When Claudia’s got the wrench to stop the engine’s doom!
[Chorus: All Crew - Boisterous and Loud]
We’re the heart in the basement, the soul in the rust
The only ones on this ship that you can actually trust!
The Captain’s a mystery? Well, let him stay hid
As long as there's booze for a hardworking kid!
Upstairs is for the glitter, downstairs is for the soul
Drink up, you freaks, while we’re still in control!
[Verse 2]
[Vocal: Warm Soulful Female, Mellow Alto]
[Lunar]: I’ve got the stove top humming and the sliders on the tray
[Vocal: Gravelly Harsh Female, Deep Raspy Voice]
[Mama Kitty]: Crunch. And I’ve got the bouncer’s eye to keep the fights at bay.
I don't care about the records or the manifest of lies
Just keep the noise level down before I blacken someone’s eyes!
[Vocal: Elegant Soprano, Sophisticated Mid-Atlantic]
[Laizer]: [Sound of pouring champagne]
Indeed. Let the bureaucrats bicker while we fix the hull
A Captain’s absence makes the audit quite dull.
I’ve diverted some... "sanitation" credits for the wine
Everything downstairs is looking perfectly fine.
[Bridge]
[Vocal: Deep Smooth Baritone, Slow Soulful Delivery]
[Bammer]: [Vibrating Bass Scatting] Mm-mmm-mmm... The vibration’s just right.
[Vocal: Deadpan Analytical Male, Deep Monotone]
[Tarz]: My tail notes the structural integrity is tight.
The ship is being mended with a cynical grace
Which is more than I can say for the rest of this place.
[Vocal: Distorted Heroic Male, 1950s Radio Filter]
[Captain AI]: "Reminder... crew... [Glitch] ...Excessive... joy... is... permitted... in... the lower... sectors."
[Chorus: All Crew - Boisterous and Loud]
We’re the heart in the basement, the soul in the rust
The only ones on this ship that you can actually trust!
The Captain’s a mystery? Well, let him stay hid
As long as there's booze for a hardworking kid!
Upstairs is for the glitter, downstairs is for the soul
Drink up, you freaks, while we’re still in control!
[Outro: Spoken over a rowdy piano solo]
[Jacques]: To the Dramatica! May she never be audited again!
[Claudia]: And to the "Captain"—wherever the hell he is!
[Bianca]: Probably taking a nap in a server-rack! ¡Salud!
[Sound of: A massive cheer and a heavy metal door slamming shut]
[End]
