Lyrics
v1
I was young when I went to sea
Hadn't yet reached 23
All you want is a life that's free
When you’re 22
We were fifteen strong when we set sail
Lost 3 overboard in a Biscay Gale
Picked up 10 down Galway way
Then we were 22
Chorus
22 bottles in the liquor store
22 girls in every port
We’ll party when we reach the shore
Like we're Forever 22
v2
Now the Flying Dog had a great first mate
He taught my all his pirate ways
Tried to keep me on the straight
When I was 22
But when I was up on watch one might
I'd too much rum to see the sight
Of a Kraken coming up behind
The sleeping 22
Chorus
Ten tentacles upon the deck
22 more around our necks
The Flying Dog was a Flying wreck
With all the 22
Now I've been sailing centuries long
Sometimes you'll hear my ghostly song
of how the rum and the Kraken done me wrong
When I was 22
