"Hey you's ginks and bims
Call me Ishmael - I'm da
wise head dat's gonna tell
you the story about old Moby."
"So close yer head and listen
It's a steel cold morning
The Pequod leaves Nantucket
Captain Ahab is the crab."
"Pressed crew from all nations
Ship's soon in warmer waters
Ahab pulls out a deck
Has one good leg and a dingus."
"Wants to pursue a white whale
You spot him - get a gold doubloon
More like the dicks a major loon
Sails round Africa to the Indian Ocean."
"Encounters the ship Jeroboam
Prophet on board speaks of doom
Must have been dipping the bill
Boy, we're gonna carry that weight."
"Then encounters another ship of fools
The Samuel Enderby - Cap lost an arm
Moby This duck souped, then drifted
SOS - got dusted, eggs in the coffee."
"Approach the point of no return - dead end
Sign from Moby This: "Fade" - Ahab finder
Nantucket Sleigh Ride - get flim-flammed
Flippers? Flop! Captain Ahab goes goofy."
"Ship turned into fire wood - got burned
I'm the only one living - survive on giggle juice
Do the dead man's float on Queequeg's coffin
Picked-up years later by the RMS Rhone - go figure."
