The Skizzleman

There once was a ship in Cherry Bay The captain’s name was GeminiTay The salmon flopped as if to say “Oh blow that goat horn, blow” (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Gem cast out her line from shore When down on her a bobber bore The captain called “Grian!” and swore She’d lay that scoundrel low (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Before Gem had hit the water The reaper’s fate came up and caught her She led her crew to Pearl’s and fought her ‘Till Pearl fell below (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

No line was cut, they did the deed The reapers’ rods were thusly freed They launched into the sky and squeed While others cheered below (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

For forty streams or even more The Hermit pranks came to the fore Exploding chests and traps galore With breaks for fishing flow (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on End crystals float and zombies spawn The Skizzleman makes his regular call To encourage the Hermits, Gem, and all (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the mending book's won We'll take our rods and go

Fact 1: Tolkien often gives us the lyrics to songs characters sing, rarely the soundtrack.

Fact 2: Many of these songs, such as Sam's rendition of the end of the Second Age, are explicitly fragments of longer works.

Therefore:

Gil-Galad was an Elven-king Of him the harpers sadly sing The last whose realm was fair and free Between the mountains and sea (huh)

Soon may the mortal Men come When all the ages of Elves are done One day, when the Enemy's gone We'll sail out West and go

You will never unhear it and I'm not sorry

I was today years old when I realized that “Wellerman” is basically Moby Dick in song form.

I know they made a supercut of The Wellerman, but this one is my favorite.

Not sure where the post is that introduced me to it. It was one of the driving forces for me finally downloading Tiktok. I figured I liked all the videos from there that got cross-posted so much that I might as well just go to the source.

I have never regretted that decision.

Has anyone else noticed that the lullaby device the gang fed to Angie is playing The Wellerman or is it just me?

JONATHAN YOUNG || WELLERMAN

Ah... I love metal covers of sea shanties...

[choccy-zefirka]

There used to be a Sailor origin option in Early Access ;_;

(starring Dee the Deep Gnome and Zarynn the Dragonborn, who were both part of the crew on the same ship, one of many for Dee and a Home for Zarynn)

🎶 soon may the wellerman comes🎶

🎶your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb🎶

I have legitimately no idea if my brain made this up or it's just an old mash up that it rememebered

PEOPLE I NEED YOUR help

I've been looking for a video that i rb on here it was a tiktok, a cover for the wellerman but like a lesbian version, the same music but the lyrics were about a princess who fall in love with a commoner girl who was a thief

The singer was a blonde girl (very beautiful btw)

Did anyone have it??? Please?!

There was a ship that sailed the sea, And it told me the world was gonna roll me. The winds blew up, her bow dipped down Oh all that glitters is gold!

Soon may the wellerman come, The brain gets smart but the head gets dumb; One day, when the tonguin' is done: No shine if we don't glow.

Her world caught fire (how was yours?) When down on her a right whale bore. But she liked that and she never got bored; They took that whale in tow.

Soon may the wellerman come, It won't make sense not to live for fun, One day, when the tonguin' is done, We won't know 'til we go.

Before the boat had hit the water She bundled up til she got older All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her Get paid for your show!

Soon may the wellerman come, To bring us sugar while the head gets dumb; One day, when we live for fun, We'll shine if first we glow.

So much to do, so much to see, But the captain's mind was not of greed! What's wrong with taking those back streets? She took that ship in tow.

Soon may the wellerman come, It didn't make sense not to live for rum Smart brains, when the toungin' is done, Won't know if we don't go.

For forty days or even more The shape of an L sat on her fore; All boats were lost, there were only four But stars still broke that mold.

Soon may the brain get dumb, The ice gets thin while the wellerman comes, One day, when the shinin' is done, We'll glow and then we'll know.

Now hey, all-star, the game's still on - The years still come, and the whale's not gone! A little more fuel would be a good call To encourage the rock-star, crew and all!

Soon may we live for fun, And don't stop coming for tea and rum, Go play, when the glitterin's done, We might well swim and go.

Soon may the wellerman come, The brain gets smart but the head gets dumb; One day, when the tonguin' is done, We'll take our shine and glow!
