Styx parody lyrics
Back to Tortuga
For use with Back to Chicago
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
I was sailing in (the) open last night
Fol - low - ing sea birds-in flight
And I was suddenly aware, it was leading me nowhere
To try and find where they nested
So I called for a change of-tone
And I said hey Pearl crew, forget (bird) homes
Cause I know my words are true
I have been navigating like a fool
But Tortuga is-just starting to come in to viewAnd I don’t care what people say
Cause I’m gonna have my rum to - day
Ho matey to the dock
With the gangplank, all you gotta do is let me
Walk right up to the shoreI’m making my way back to Tortuga
I'm making my way, been doing so overnight
I have got the tavern waiting for me
We can forget ab - out you know who to - night
Take offLet’s go walking by the beach tonight
And watch the sun come up where all’s fine sights
No crab claw on any one arm
And we all keep in our hearts
Cause I know everything is gonna be alright
Forget the tentacles
Sail in, sail in
Come onForget the monster-in (blue)
I’m coming for a day this time
Oh matey, I’m coming for (the) day
Matey keep in your heart, tis what I like
Woo! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
