lyrics

Capatin Ahab found a map that

Showed him where the treasure was, so he slapped his

Knee, took a swig, and he started hooting

Make no mistake I will have that booty



But it belonged to captain Lamar

Had gathered it together from lands strange and far

If he finds out it will mean battle

So let's hope that no one tattles


Loose lips they say sink ships well I suppose in a way that’s true

i’ve never intentionally sent a vessel or its crew to a watery doom

but people keep doin all this sneaky stuff word’s bound to get around

it’s a pity but sometimes everybody ends up drowned



Oh captain Lamar he took a fancy

To madam chan when he saw her dancing

Lifted his glass and he started hooting

Make no mistake I will have that booty!


but she belonged to the captain ahab

married on the pier by a whaling arab.

word gets out then it will mean battle

So let's hope that no one tattles


Loose lips they say sink ships well I suppose in a way that’s true

i’ve never intentionally sent a vessel or its crew to a watery doom

but people keep doin all this sneaky stuff word’s bound to get around

it’s a pity but sometimes everybody ends up drowned


Instrumental


My name is Looselips the kraken

Tell you what is crackalackin

Way back when I was a little squida-lito


Discovered I had a knack

For repeatin back exactly

Whatever people said, and it was neato


Well I grew up big and strong and it wasn't very long

Before my muscly arms could wrap around them ships at night

But instead of pullin down, making everybody drown I hung out

Without causin' a fright


Then I'd listen really close to what the sailors wanted most

To their deepest darkest secrets, all their fears and their weaknesses (breath)

And wouldn't you know it that when I'm out recitin poetry

Well some of those secrets they made it onto the breezes


What I'm tryin to say is I admit that the way

Captains Ahab and Lamar came to face their final day

Maybe coulda been avoided if this Kraken had employed

Some additional discretion but heyyyy... maybe I'l learn some day


Loose lips they say sink ships well I suppose in a way that’s true

i’ve never intentionally sent a vessel or its crew to a watery doom

but people keep doin all this sneaky stuff word’s bound to get around

it’s a pity but sometimes everybody

A pity but sometimes everybody

A pity but sometimes everybody ends up drowned
