Intro:

C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

Chorus:

 C majorC
There's not a thing wrong with this ship
 G+G
In fact, she is just fine
 G+G
But there would be some changes
 C majorC
If if this vessel it were mine
 C majorC              A7A7
Nothing unrealistic or too drastic or severe
 C majorC        G+G       C majorC     G+G    C majorC
Just some subtle tweaks to improve the atmosphere!


Verse 1:

 C majorC
I would have a great big deck
 G+G
Plated in solid gold!
 G+G
'Cause being teased about my little deck
 C majorC
Is really gettin' old! (happens a lot)
   C majorC
I'd sail from south tortuga
     A7A7
All the way up to Quebec
    DmDm       G+G
And in each port I'd shout: Hey, sailor!
    C majorC    G+G    C majorC
Wanna ride my great big deck?

(It's enormous! - it's okay, it's okay)

Chorus:

Verse 2:

Let's see, uh
     C majorC
I'd get rid of all the water
     G+G
From down in the ballast hole (but we'll tip over!)
    G+G
And replace it with some good dark rum
   C majorC
Where it can stay nice and cold!
    C majorC
Every man aboard the ship can drink
  A7A7
Until he's had his fill
   DmDm       G+G
And the only rude we'd enforce
      C majorC    G+G     C majorC
Is that noone's allowed to spill!

(How about that? Take that, you'd have to replace it later)


Chorus:

 C majorC

Verse 3:

 C majorC
I'd strip her down just to a rudder
 G+G
A augmentedA mast and a wheel (minimalism!)
 G+G
I'd make her long and hard - and hollow
   C majorC
And cover her in steel! (urr!)
 C majorC
She'd be a giant floating cannon
  A7A7
No need for cabins and walls! (we-we need them)
 DmDm         G+G
And everyone would shiver
      C majorC    G+G      C majorC
When they saw the size of my balls!

(I'm shivering already, you've seen them? They're huge!)


Chorus:

 C majorC
There's not a thing wrong with this ship

Nothing unrealistic or too drastic or severe
 C majorC        G+G       C majorC     G+G    C majorC
Just some subtle tweaks to improve the atmosphere!


Verse 4:

   C majorC
I'd replace the bunks and hammocks
   G+G
With big four-poster beds (ooh, okay!)
   G+G
And I'd get rid of most the crew like you, lot
   C majorC
And hire trollops on instead
   C majorC
She'd be a floating brothel
    A7A7
And I'd be her captain bow
       DmDm      G+G
I'd have more fun than any pirate
     C majorC    G+G    C majorC
And I'd make a lot more gold (arrogant jerk)

There's not a thing wrong with this ship

Just some subtle tweaks to improve the atmosphere!


Verse 5:

 C majorC
I'd get rid of all the sails
          G+G
And find something better than the wind (what?)
   C majorC               G+G
Perhaps some sort of intermittent combustion engine
     G+G
With reciprocating pistons
    A7A7
And a fuel source based on heat!
   Ddim7Ddim7
We could - hey! - woah, woah, woah!
 N.C.
Well, forget it you mooks
 N.C
Let's go with devin's brothel plan
 N.C
Wouldn't that be sweet? (Yeaah!)
