about

The drunken retelling of the life and death of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson and his crew which coined the odd but ever enjoyable term of "sucking the monkey". Cheers!

lyrics

Traveling amongst the seas when I need a drink,
Cask upon cask lying beneath the deck,
Drilling a whole to procure my wealth,
My thirst becoming quenched.

Amongst the hurricane our admiral be shot,
Deserving a burial more than the seas,
Preserving his body amongst the cask,
Into the rum.

Drink! From the cask, drill the hole
Drink! From the cask, insert the straw
Drink! From the cask, drink your fill
Drink! From the cask, hide the signs

Buried in rum! X3
Sucking the monkey
Buried in rum! X3
Sucking the monkey

Preserving the body in the spirit of wine,
Gives us the best chance of safe voyage,
Returning home in the cask,
How many know of the deed?

Crew continue to drink from the cask,
One fell sick after another,
Drinking from the corpse of Nelson,
Barrel drawn empty.

Drink! From the cask, drill the hole
Drink! From the cask, insert the straw
Drink! From the cask, drink your fill
Drink! From the cask, hide the signs

Buried in rum! X3
Sucking the monkey
Buried in rum! X3
Sucking the monkey
