SoP 16: "The Bonny Ship the Diamond" and The Mighty Pink Daffodil

The Bonnie Ship the Diamond
Traditional Scotish folk song

- - - - -
(Just so I don't lose "points" for improper meter, I'm bolding the beats. To be sung to some generic sea-shanty type tune until I come up with something else. Inspired by Diary Entries From the Crew of the Pirate Ship the Pink Daffodil, by Eloosive et al)



Well I'll tell ye a tale of somethin' worse than blight
Hey, ho, the Pink Daffodil
Of a ship, she surely was a sight
Hey, ho, the pink daffodil

With sides and sails of a faint rose-peach
The mighty Pink Daffodil
She'll be lucky t'even make it to the beach
Hey, ho, the Pink Daffodil

Clear the ports and make a scene
For the mighty pink Daffodil;
She's nothing short of in'tresting,
Will she come to greatness? Doubt she will.

With Captain Bottoms at the front
Hey, ho, the Pink Daffodil
The way he leads is nothin' short of blunt
Hey, ho, the Pink Daffodil


He cocks his hat and yells quite a bit
On the mighty Pink Daffodil,
But he's never lost for a word or a quip
Hey, ho, the Pink Daffodil.


Clear the ports and make a scene,
Here comes the Pink Daffodil.
There're clouds of doubt to her life 'spect'ncy
But she pulls through, she always will.

Yarg! Thar she is: The Pink Daffodil!



Well, an origami version, anyway. I couldn't find pink paper, so I used red, and tried to make it as pink as possible.
