[Verse] Oh the battered scorpion sails the sea Battered by the storm's wild spree With a captain bold and a crew so free The battered scorpion roams [Verse 2] Through the waves so high and winds that howl We fight the ocean's mighty growl With a battered ship and a fearless prowl The battered scorpion roams [Chorus] Heave ho my lads we brave the storm Heave ho my lads we keep our form Through thunder's clap and lightning warm The battered scorpion roams [Verse 3] From port to port we search for gold Through waters deep and stories old With a battered ship and a heart so bold The battered scorpion roams [Bridge] Oh the sails are torn but we sail on Though the nights be dark before the dawn With a battered ship till the break of morn The battered scorpion roams [Verse 4] With rum in hand and songs we sing To the ocean’s depths our voice we bring With a battered ship and joy we fling The battered scorpion roams
