Every one needs a shipwreck song. This one's ours

lyrics

And as we sailed across the sea, we head due west from Tripoli.
A surly crew of 33 was all I could amass.
And as we round the Cape of Hope the rigging snapped the sails broke.
The crew’s still drunk from the night before and the ship is going down!!

The aft had sunk beneath the sea. A starboard wave crashed violently.
And washed away Michael McGee to Davy Jones’s home.
They called “Land-Ho!” 5 miles away. I sent the lifeboats on their way.
I’ll dine in hell by the end of the day for the ship is going down.

Keeping well aware
of how the ocean stirs.
You’ve damned us all to hell and the ship is going down!

The crew made it safely to land so now i make my final stand.
Yet another slug of sea soaked grog for i know this is the end.
And as the timbers swell and shake I’ve no regret for my own fate.
A captain’s life the seas to take when the ship is going down!

Keeping well aware
of how the ocean stirs.
You’ve damned us all to hell this day
A quick shot of rum
my hand’s on the wheel
I’ll fly this thing to hell!

And as the water hits my chin I pull my last sweet breath down in
embrace the cold dark deathly grin (the ship is going down)/(for I’m journeys end bound).
And knowing that my crew is safe I’ll say a prayer for my own sake
and I’ll meet the devil face to face the ship is going down!
OI!
