Shipload of Fools Lyrics by Original Cast of A Killer Party

A Killer Party: A New Musical (Original Cast Recording)

2020

[SHEA]
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
In the captain's chamber he's kissing on a stranger
But it's not his wife, it's the lion tamer
His wife is in the hallway cheated on like always
So she's got a knife that she's hiding in a bouquet
Wait until you see what goes down
Don't mess with the tears of a clown
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the opеn sea they don't play by the rulеs
It's a whole shipload of fools
The clown runs from the cabin followed by the captain
Wants to catch his wife before she gets to stabbin'
As the ship was lurching, he continued searching
Doesn't find his wife but he finds an urchin
Wait until you see who's in there
Hiding in the bottom of a barrel
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
Near the end of act one, finally some action
Everyone's assembled for the main attraction
The circus is in full swing, my husband's in the big ring
I'm up on the trapeze about to do my thing
Wait until you hear the ringmaster
What he says before the disaster
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
I turn my attention to an intervention
When the lion tamer and the cat collection
L-l-locked into the sewer
Finally the man gets a few words
And I am telling you I'll find out who did this
He was the best ringmaster I've ever known
There's no way I'm trapezing without him
I saw a sign it wouldn't show
He took this rose that was thrown
He carried my big heart in a symbolic box inside his chest
It resembles a red box the captain has locked in his desk
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
On the open sea they don't play by the rules
It's a whole shipload of fools
