Up on the Poopdeck
(Benjamin Hanby, altered lyrics by David Ruffin)

Up on the poop deck reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the main hatch with pirate toys
All for the Bilge Pumps Christmas joys

(Chorus)
Yo ho ho, who wouldn't go
Yo ho ho, who wouldn't go
Up on the poop deck, make it quick
Catch a glimpse of old St. Nick.

First comes the stocking of little Jack
Oh, dear Santa, don't look back
Give him a mic that amps his voice
He strums so loud we got no choice

Now comes the stocking of ol' Maroon
Hear him belt a silly tune
Give him a drum that he can thump
Take his steel drum to the dump

(Chorus)

Now a little something for Sharkbait
How 'bout a capo, that'd be great
A new set of springs for his old bed
Now that he's a newlywed

Splice our Rigger, he comes next
Just don't wake him, he'd be vexed
Papers that will grade themselves
With some helpful Christmas elves

(Chorus)

John Crows stocking's on the hook
Bring recipes that he can cook
Some meat that hasn't turned to green
And a pot or two that could be clean

Then there's Harvey, What a shock
His stocking's made of orthopedic socks
Bring him rhythm and the key
His sound will make my poor ears bleed

(Chorus)

Fanny's stocking's quite a show
Made from a pair of pantyhose
Send her a paddle made of pine
Just to keep John Crow in Line.

Elizabeth, you can't forget
Bring her something nice, you bet
A rulebook teaching her some vice
Even Santa knows she´s too damned nice
