Here's the chorus: And when we sing, we sing the blue ocean We sing the whitecaps, we sing the waves We sing the winds, we sing the stories We sing the breaking of the day I can't find lyrics or a recording anywhere online, though I've found reference to the Pyrates Royale singing it on their CD "Keep Calm and Seek Revenge." |

Thanks for your help! Said the sirens to the sailor What makes you think we want your sorry ass washed up here on our beach? We’re so out of your reach Just goes to show there’s nothing ever comes for free You say you got our number It was scribbled on some drunken sailor’s dank and hairy palm Well you got it all wrong Just goes to show you can’t believe everything that you read We just come to this beach to sing Chorus: And when we sing, we sing the blue ocean We sing the whitecaps, we sing the waves We sing the winds, we sing the stories We sing the breaking of the day Said the sirens to the sailor We’ve yet to meet the man the likes of which we take with open arms The topman from the yards No washed up salt come all this way to cop a feel You must have heard the stories The blind man says we girls all do it just for sport That’s myth and no more Just goes to show you can’t believe everything that you read We just come to this beach to sing Chorus Said the sirens to the sailor Somewhere along the line I’d like to think that we could get some flash Could settle some hash Could see our names and lights our reputation clean (???) We’d like to think we’d settle For just a bit of honest ink writ large inside the Times No doggerel rhymes Just goes to show you can’t believe everything that you read We just come to this beach to sing |

Here are the words, first person: The Siren's Song Said the siren to the sailor What makes you think I want your sorry ass washed up here on my beach? I'm so out of your reach Just goes to show there’s nothing ever comes for free You say you got my number It was scribbled on some drunken sailor’s dank and hairy palm Well you got it all wrong Just goes to show you can’t believe everything that you read I just come to this beach to sing Chorus: And when I sing, I sing the blue ocean I sing the whitecaps, I sing the waves I sing the wind, I sing the stories I sing the breaking of the day Said the siren to the sailor I’ve yet to meet the man the likes of which I'd take with open arms No topman from the yards* No washed up salt come all this way to cop a feel You must have heard the stories The blind man says we girls all do it just for sport That’s myth and no more Just goes to show you can’t believe everything that you read I just come to this beach to sing Chorus Said the siren to the sailor Somewhere along the line I’d like to think that we could get some flash Could settle some hash Could see our names in lights, our reputation clean** I’d like to think we’d settle For just a bit of honest ink writ large inside the Times No doggerel rhymes Just goes to show you can’t believe ANYthing that you read I just come to this beach to sing * No top man from the yards refers to the sailors who would have worked high up in the rigging, where the yard arms are. They were called top men. ** "Could see our names in lights, our reputation clean**" This line refers to the notion that seeing our names in the lights above, say, a Broadway stage, would legitimize us in the eyes of the public Cheers, Janie Meneely P.S. if you need more info or care to contact me for mechanical rights, you'll find me at janiemeneely@gmail.com |
