Bachelor’s Shanty Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver

Tomorrow, the Island Dies (Complete Studio Cast Recording)

2024

[Porter]
Oh, did ya hear
Tell about the bachelor
[Townspeople]
The bachelor? (the bachelor?)
[Porter]
Washin' up on shore
[Townspeople]
No!
[Porter]
What did he see
But a she from the sea
Now the bachelor lives no more!
[Townspeople]
Up from the sea, the siren came
Naked as night and a-singin' his name
Pity the lad, she's made her claim
The deep sea's got him now
[Porter]
And what about the sailor?
[Townspeople]
The sailor? (the sailor?)
[Porter]
Gazin' from the mast
[Townspeople]
No!
[Porter]
There in the swirl
Was a pearl of a girl
And the sailor looked his last!
[Townspeople]
Up from the sea, the siren came
Naked as night and a-singin' his name
Pity the lad, she's made her claim
The deep sea's got him now
[Porter]
Sh, sh, sh, sh
How's about the dock boy?
[Townspeople]
The dock boy? (the dock boy?)
[Porter]
Pickin' through his net
[Townspeople]
No!
[Porter]
What did he fetch
But the wretch caught a catch
Now he's cooked as bucks can get!
[Townspeople]
Up from the sea, the siren came
Naked as night and a-singin' his name
Pity the lad, she's made her claim
The deep sea's got him now
Tell us of the madman!
[Porter]
The madman!
[Townspeople]
The madman!
[Porter]
The one who would be wed
[Townspeople]
Yeah!
[Porter]
He was a pal
To the [?], met a gal
He was mad, but now he's dead!
[Townspeople]
Up from the sea, the siren came
Naked as night and a-singin' his name
Pity the lad, she's made her claim
The deep sea's got him now
The deep sea's got him now
The deep sea's got him now
