It would have been a great position for someone with a lisp. {sigh}

Abby: You could follow up with "A Chat with Your Mother": Oh the pirates in their fetid galleons, daggers in their skivvies...

Jeff Muldaur once recorded this Kidd's song, as a lead-in to a blues number:
I'd like to be a sailor sailing to the sea.
No clown or tink or tailor's any fun to be.
Aunts and cousins by the baker's dozens
Drive a man to sea or highway robbery.
I'd like to be a bandit - can't you understand it? -
Sailing to sea a pirate free.
What joy for me!
