"Fannybaws"
(Christopher Bowes)

Woah-oh, come take a trip with me
I'll tell you of the greatest man who ever sailed the sea
Woah-oh, Fae Scotland's bonnie shores
He pillaged 'cross the ocean in search of rum galore
Woah-oh, aboard the good ship Scum
He'd fire a mighty blast from the 16 pounder gun
Woah-oh, his legendary crew
Could sail that ship to Hell and back, there's nothing they can't do

[Pre-Chorus:]
He killed the mighty Terrorsquid
The greatest man who ever lived
He beat the Vikings in a bloody war
Meet yer dad and smell yer maw

[Chorus:]
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
Fannybaws

Woah-oh, in Oban he was raised
He drank a bucket full of rum every single day
Woah-oh, his beard of flaming red
Would terrorize his enemies and make them wish they're dead
Woah-oh, four pistols on his belt
He went to battle naked, wearing just a tiger's pelt
Woah-oh, his name was Fannybaws
Now haud yer wheesht ya glaikit cunt or else he'll pump your maw

[Chorus:]
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
Fannybaws

[Bridge:]
Who killed the mighty Terrorsquid?
Fannybaws
The greatest man who ever lived?
Fannybaws
Who beat the vikings in a war?
Fannybaws
Meet yer dad and smell yer maw, oh
Who drinks his whiskey neat and strong?
Fannybaws
Who's got a boaby two feet long?
Fannybaws
Who's gonna take nae shite from you?
Fannybaws
So what the fuck you gonna do?

[Pre-Chorus:]
He drinks his whiskey neat and strong
He's got a boaby two feet long
He's gonna take nae shite from the likes of you
So what the fuck you gonna do?
Woohoo!

[Chorus:]
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Plundering, pillaging, spreading disease
Fannybaws, he's a fearsome pirate
Fannybaws, he's the scourge of the seas
Fannybaws, with the black flag flying
Bringing his foes to their knees
Fannybaws
