[Verse 1] Oh, the sextant spun and the compass lied, The stars went missing, the moon just sighed, The sails took flight on the morning tide, And the sea cried, “No more guiding!” The anchor danced in the foamy spray, The ropes untied themselves that day, We yelled “Hold fast!”—they ran away, By thunder, the ship’s deciding! --- [Chorus – Call and Response] Call: Who steers the ship when the sea’s gone mad? Crew: We do, we do, with what we had! Call: And if the tide should pull us through— Crew: Then the sea’s our captain too! All: Heave and haul, the storm may rise, But we’ll sing till morning clears the skies, If the sea’s our foe, then she’ll be wise— To join our mutiny! --- [Verse 2] The galley pot boiled over quick, The coffee mug learned a brand-new trick, It slid uphill and did a kick— Right into the bosun’s hat! The compass spun, the deckhands swore, The tide came crawling through the door, The sea’s got plans and we’re not sure, Who told her where we’re at! --- [Chorus – Full Crew] Heave and haul, the ropes run free, The sea’s got mischief, same as we, The sextant laughs, the helm won’t see, A mutiny on the blue! --- [Verse 3] Now every storm’s a friend, not foe, The ship may rock but she still goes, If the tide says “left,” then left we’ll row, And toast to her defiance! For when the sea and crew agree, That freedom’s found in mystery, We’ll raise a cheer from deck to lee— And call it our alliance! --- [Final Chorus – All Hands] Heave and haul, the sea runs wild, But she’s our home and she’s beguiled, From calmest breeze to waves reviled, We sail this mutiny! (slow down for the ending) Oh, the sextant spins, the sails still fly, But we’ll sail on ‘neath an open sky— For the sea’s our friend, and that’s no lie, She joined our mutiny!
