about

A song for all you buccaneers, arrr, matey!

lyrics

The pirate song

Look at the Petri dish it’s almost overflowing
And all the tiny viruses are acting like it’s fine
Will they break the dish and do they know just where they’re going
Who will tell the viruses they’re almost out of time

Doctor says: “It’s quite alright, so don’t you be afraid,
If there was a problem I would surely operate”

Lalala…

Once there was a pirate lad, who one day went a sailing
He stole himself a frigate and he sailed the seas so red
He drew his trusty dagger ready for serious impaling
But then he cried ‘Avast’ and saw his foes already dead

Listen to the buccaneer: “go find yourself a wench
To fill the good ol' Petri dish before you walk the plank”

Lalala…

Hope is for the wicked, it will only lead to sorrow
And love is for the lucky so make sure you have a crack
Plant a seed today because you may be gone tomorrow
I may die a scurvy dog but I won’t die a scallywag

Think about the Petri dish, it’s better if you run
It’s getting pretty hot in here, or should I say: well done!

Lalala…

about

Blue Dog Netherlands

Laat je raken door de muziek van Blue Dog, en volg zijn weg door vreugde, rouw, onwetendheid en overpeinzingen naar de conclusie dat het de moeite waard is om door te zetten, ondanks onze soms overweldigende neiging naar zelfvernietiging.
