about

Inspired by The Simpsons and the greatest death match of all time.

A guitar and mandolin dual on the high sides

lyrics

Yo ho ho and blow the man down
You and me sweetheart we're leaving this town
Grab us a bottle of whatever you please
Us two old salts are hitting the seas
Knife wielding monkeys are waiting for us
Got Furious George and his rival named Gus

In this life I have no wife but the ocean is married to me
There's nothing like a monkey knife fight at sea

Salt air in our lungs knives in the monkeys hands
Those people don't know what they're missing on land
Got fifty bucks on my main man George
There's nobody who can beat on the SS Word Forge

On dry land they don't understand that there's nothing left for me
There's nothing like a monkey knife fight at sea

Georgie stabbed Gus right through the heart I count my money as he bleeds
There's nothing like a monkey knife fight at sea
You and me babe we have it made with these monkeys and their blades
There's nothing like a monkey knife fight at sea
